I don't know how mainstream it is, but I vote for Air Fighters Comics. Great art, innovative covers, Valkyrie...

I'll agree with that, even though my first instinct would be to say Top Notch.

My vote is for Star Spangled. I rarely hear anyone talk about the series or post any of the comics.

 

I heard a podcast about the series a few weeks ago and thought it would be cool title to collect... from Star Spangled Kid to the Newsboy Legion to the Robin/Batman issues to Ghost Breaker to the war/dinosaur stories (including Mademoiselle Marie) to Enemy Ace and finally the Unknown Soldier.

 

Just one long, cool series with a lot of diverse stories and covers.

on the Air Fighters.

 

As for DC/Timely books - All-American - folks get excited over #16 and #61, but that's about it. The early GL AA covers have a similar look to early Detectives, and the later issues have Alex Toth artwork. Meyers Scribbly is one of the best written strips of the GA - The Red Tornado story arc is a classic. And Ultra-Man is probably the the least loved and most forgotten of the early DC heroes (especially among cover features). I'm not saying it's my favorite DC title of the era - but compared to the rest I'd say it's underappreciated. Other than Sensation its probably the only Golden Age DC Anthology title where one can still pick up Super-hero covers in the VG range for under $100.

Completely forgot about that title - I guess it wins!

...and they had great Simon & Kirby covers.

I feel one of the most under-rated titles based on its' significance of included superheroes and when compared to the likes of Detective, Action, etc., is Adventure Comics.

And just think, the title started out with this humble offering and grew from there.

No offense to any Star Spangled collectors, or GA collectors in general, but the artwork on that cover and back cover is just atrocious.

The robot is pretty good.

Hey Bill, check it out. Smiling guys in skin tight suits. Just what I was asking for!

[Bronty]

I don't mind the front cover too much. The back cover is another matter

[BangZoom]

The Simon & Kirby covers begin with #7.

I thought the eyebrows on the villain were... very long.

 

Seriously, though, while there are some lame parts of this title during the GA, it did take some very interesting turns and the war era offers a little of bit of everything that is good about DC War.

And let's not forget Tomahawk in those late 40's / early 50's Star Spangled. Here are 3 cover examples (from the GCD) -

I left your request in the other thread......one at a time bro!

Personally, I think Ibis the Invincible is the most underrated GA title of all.
