I feel like there's never been a Manhunter story that was as good as its title page. That's not even meant as an insult to Manhunter stories - the title pages are just that good.

The Spirit has a flying car? When did this happen?

The Two-Hundred-Thirteenth Greatest Panel in the History of Comics


This is a weird trend I've noticed reading a lot of WW2 comics - I've seen a bunch of examples of heroes fighting Nazis in Europe who, at a certain point, get transferred over to battling the Japs in the Pacific, since that's more marketable.

I understand why this happened, but the implied racial politics make me deeply uncomfortable.

I understand nothing about this. Why are FDR and Churchill plotting at the Arctic Circle?

More importantly, what's going on with the story? Burp hears people talking about bombing and assumes it's 'filth' columnists, then in panel six, he's shocked to find out that they're anti-Hitler, and not saboteurs. But way back in panel two, they're talking about stopping Nazis. So why didn't that tip him off?
