vaillant Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Thanks, 'chip. Daring Comics? From which issue? Also, it seems a "first episode" or am I wrong? From what I get it’s set in the future, but the publishing date? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluechip Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 #8, not sure what year but either 1940 or 1941 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PreHero Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 #8, not sure what year but either 1940 or 1941 Cover dated Jan 1942, but apparently on newstand on Oct 29th ( date stamps). Since there was no Daring Mystery #9 and the good Capt didn't make the cut for Comedy #9, we'll have to wait till 3050 to see how this turns out!

PreHero Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 This may, and in fact is likely, answered somewhere above, but to save me time from reading through ALL the posts, can someone tell me which was: (1) the FIRST comic book to feature Hitler on its cover? Until I saw Boot's copy of Mean Scamp-F, I would've said Capt America #1! Now (2) the FIRST comic book to feature Hitler or nazis in a story? First appearance of Hilter (plus, Stalin and Mussolini) in a comic book appears to be Sun Fun Komiks from 1939. First Hitler story: Daring Mystery #6 (Sept 1940)? Posted before, but here's Sun Fun again: (3) the FIRST comic book to feature the Japanese (as enemies/aggressors) on its cover? First Japanese reference I'm aware of on any comic cover is Pep #22 - this would've been on newstand well before Pearl Harbor. Oddly, except for the first Hitler appearance, I found none of the other "firsts" noted in OSPG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaillant Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Cover dated Jan 1942, but apparently on newstand on Oct 29th ( date stamps). Since there was no Daring Mystery #9 and the good Capt didn't make the cut for Comedy #9, we'll have to wait till 3050 to see how this turns out! The Blue Diamond! The Thing time-travel saga with the Invaders, where most of those golden age charaters were re-introduced, has been one of my first Marvel readings, when I was about 10. I recall Thin Man joking about the fact he was "old". What a beautiful cover, and I’m sure the issue is great, thank you for posting, and for all the great information. First appearance of Hilter (plus, Stalin and Mussolini) in a comic book appears to be Sun Fun Komiks from 1939. First Hitler story: Daring Mystery #6 (Sept 1940)? Do you know if these has been scanned from someone? I’d love to have high-resolution scans of the stories! Of course, the Daring Mystery is not public domain, but I am seeking them for private use.

vaillant Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 (edited) This italian "landscape size" comic book (from 1947) is the first collected edition o f the story "Pippo e il Dittatore" (Pippo and the Dictator), which originally appeared on the rare italian magazine "Intervallo" in 1945: The story is part of a trilogy drawn between 1945 and 1947 by Benito Jacovitti, one of the most important italian cartoonists. Jacovitti started his career in 1940 on the pages of "Il Vittorioso", an important italian "journal sized" comics publication by catholic-inspired publisher A.V.E., when he was barely 16 years old. In his youth was somewhat agreeable towards the fascist regime (his first story – a satire on the British army – actually shows Pippo and his friends rescued by a german nazi boat!), but then, later on, enrolled in the army was in Germany and risked to be forcedly enrolled in the SS and was able to escape thanks to the intervention of a bishop. His style started to get mature around 1945 and afterwards he really produced masterworks of the comic art. "Pippo e il Dittatore" works more or less like Charlie Chaplin's famous movie, and it’s very enjoyable, not the average Hitler parody, especially considered it’s from an italian perspective.

Sqeggs Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 This is a pretty tough Hitler cover to find. How do we know it's Hitler? Kind of funny for him to be on a U-boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrocHntr Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 I found one from 1960. Black Magic vol 7 #5, Hitler and "little green men" on this cover! Really cool! West I've got one of these as well. It's a great Hitler cover even if it doesn't fit the time frame you're looking for. Too bad Hitler isn't found in the story though (it was a boring read).

jimbo_707 Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Still wondering why this random German U-boat commander is supposed to be Hitler. I'm inclined to agree with you, Sqeggs. The character in Blue Beetle's had looks like he could be any Nazi officer. I checked the stories in the book to see whether Hitler appeared in any of those, but he does not. http://comicbookplus.com/?dlid=20848 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sqeggs Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Still wondering why this random German U-boat commander is supposed to be Hitler. I'm inclined to agree with you, Sqeggs. The character in Blue Beetle's hand looks like he could be any Nazi officer. I checked the stories in the book to see whether Hitler appeared in any of those, but he does not. http://comicbookplus.com/?dlid=20848 Neither Overstreet nor CGC notes BB 34 as a Hitler cover. Perhaps BB 34 is being confused with BB 32, which clearly is a Hitler cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would take an extremely active imagination to see Hitler on this cover. It's not even one of those borderline "nazi with a moustache" covers.

Mine was a Hitler cover, but you did not care as it’s an italian comic. It’s historically relevant (and the story originally from 1945!), you americans are so self-centered!
