Feature Comics #43, April ,1941 Dollman and the 2nd appearance of USA, the Spirit of Old Glory.

 

From Comic Vine

A costumed heroine who only appeared in seven issues of Quality's FEATURE COMICS was USA the Spirit of Old Glory. She was a young girl who sat at the feet of Betsy Ross in 1777, excitedly watching the American Flag first come into being. She was given some of the remaining threads from the cloth that went into the very first Old Glory, and she put them for safekeeping into a locket kept around her neck. She ran out to tell her Uncle Sam about what she had watched, but in the rain she grew sick and in Uncle Sam's presence she died. Years later, an old man found the locket in a overgrown Philadelphia cemetary. When he opened the locket, USA, the Spirit of Old Glory came to life again to protect her country. The heroine was a young woman who had no secret identity, even when she donned an army uniform to investigate trouble at an army base or when she joined other ladies who worked in a munitions plant. She wore a brief blue outfit and blue boots. Her cape, the American flag, gave the power of flight, repelled bullets, and fluttered to warn her when the country was in danger. She carried a gold torch that used beams of light and energy to reveal things, clobber the bad guys and in one story melt metel. Her short career in pre-war America was taken up in battling sabetours who meant to destroy her defenses and prey on the people. Her stories were drawn by Maurice Gutwirth.

 

USA was one of the earliest Super Heroines in Comics and certainly the first one to use a flag as part of her costume. Fantomah appeared in Jungle Comics #2 (Feb. 1940), Peggy Allen( the woman in Red) was published in March of 1940 (in Thrilling comics #2) and Hawkgirl was in All Star 5, in July of 1941.

All Star 8, was not published until December 1941.

 

Cover is detached, the inside of the spine is taped (and may have been split, staples are rusty, it's not the prettiest copy of a comic, but it's historic and very rare. There is a large piece off of the splash page. Heritage sold 1, none on GPA, It's low grade, but TRY to find one;)

 

Bin is $75

I couldn't resist after that introduction

[skypinkblu]

I'm glad, because I spent quite a while, looking her up, . I really enjoy the history. It's part of the reason it takes me so long;)

 

I am done for tonight, but I'll be back at 10am tomorrow. Probably from 10 to 12, because after that I can't see straight;) and it's too nice to stay indoors;)

 

Thanks everyone:)

This morning I'll be starting with another very old series. Tip Top by St. John.

 

You may have seen the newer ones with Peanuts, but in the beginning, the star of these books was Tarzan and a much different one than the Dells you will see published later. These earlier comics were much more faithful to the Edgar Rice Burroughs stories and

if you never read those as a kid, you missed some great adventure stories. The Captain and the Kids, Fritzi Ritz and later Nancy and LIl Abner are other popular stars, but did you know about the Super Hero MIRROR MAN , the 3 Super Heroes, the "TRIPLE TERROR" or the great war stories starring Tailspin Tommy or the sports stories with Iron Vic?. There is much more in these books than you ever thought;)

[skypinkblu]

Tip Top #53 . 1940 5 pages of Tarzan Art.

2 centerfolds are detached., small piece of tape at the top. Pages are in the white range. There is a hole at the top staple and it's barely attached, small piece missing upper left corner.. Nice color, some foxing near the spine. Grade is Gd/VG (3.0) OSG is $29 Gd. $58 VG. ($43.50) bin is $38.00
