Cat-Man_America Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Cat, I'm afraid you may be the lone voice crying in the wilderness on this one. My vote goes to Topnotch #2. Regardless, Happy New Year! Well, someone has to bravely try taming the wilderness. After all, we're talkin' war here! From a technical POV, I'll gladly yield to the consensus that Top-Notch #2 is the first swastika cover simply because the symbol is correctly depicted. But so far, no one has proven to my satisfaction that the Dec. '39 Marvel Mystery (Oct. 13th newsstand date) isn't the first anti-axis costumed hero cover, a fact clearly supported by both cover and the Angel's text story. It beats most contenders by months! As for the axe wielding, legless dwarf wearing Nazi boxers on MM #3, I won't touch that assertion with a ten foot olive branch!. When up against Bedrock snark, none of us has a leg to stand on. Besides, I couldn't bring myself to clip that Johnson Smith Company X-Ray Specs coupon. Happy New Year everybody! waaaghboss 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Electricmastro Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 It should also be taken into account that the Nazi fascists used a skull and crossbone symbol as well: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Totenkopf#Nazi_Germany Readcomix and Knightsofold 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayne-Tec Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 I'm sure it's been asked before, but is Cap #1 the first Hitler cover? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
