RARE! classic WWII Hitler, Tojo, Mussolini cover; COMIC BOOK IMPACT rating of 7 (CBI)
In recent years, WWII covers have grown in demand and popularity. The paper drives of the war effort, combined with the high numbers of copies going overseas to homesick soldiers and the limited print runs necessitated by the stunted economy make these some of the rarest of Golden Age comics, and the demand from both WWII collectors and comics aficianados means that surviving copies never fail to command top dollar in nearly any condition. Among the rarest of the rare is this star-spangled classic, from the already-scarce Catman series, one of the toughest of second-tier GA hero titles to collect. War collectors will note with pleasure that all three of the monstrous Axis leaders are caricatured in this powerful image, as Hitler, Tojo, and Mussolini prove no match for the Continental stable of heroes. While other WWII covers are better known or more celebrated, serious collectors know that this is among the scarcest of the bunch, and a rare treat to see on the marketplace.
