SUNDAY FUNNIES WITH KERRY CALLEN!
Steve Rogers famously punched out Adolf Hitler on the cover of 1940’s Captain America Comics #1…
… but you know as well as I do that a sock on the jaw was never going to be enough to defeat Der Führer.

RE: Capt. Marvel Jr. pulls no punches when taking out a fascist.
Well, to mimic Jimmie “J. J.” Walker from Good Times: DYN-O-MITE!
And to mimic Billy Crystal impersonating Fernando Lamas: exploding fascists just “look MARVEL-ous!”

It’s fascinating to consider how much of a Jewish influence was in our classic comic book heroes. (E.g. Superman, Captain America) The media seems to have been an outlet for what they were feeling around the world and especially in Europe. It really blows holes in the claims of the world not knowing the truth of what was going on in Germany. Folks like Jack and Simon knew… The issue of Cap was released a whole year before the USA entered the war. (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captain_America_Comics) I think it would be very interesting to contrast what the world was thinking and reacting to in day-to-day life with our heroes on the printed page.
