Nazi-Punchers SANTA CLAUS VS THE NAZIS Part 2

We Have Already Seen...

...as World War II envelopes Europe, Santa Claus is disturbed.

While conflict has been a part of history from the beginning, this is beyond the scale of anything mankind experienced...and it is affecting Kris Kringle!
He possesses astounding abilities, plus, with the magical manufacturing facilities at his command, he can literally change the world!
But, as he said to Winston Churchill, he won't do so!
What nobody knows is that a German scout in Finland's northernmost region, Lapland, has found Santa's hidden factory...and Der Fuhrer wants it...

Nazi-Punchers SANTA CLAUS VS THE NAZIS Part 1

This is Not a Funny  Tale...

...but, it is a clever, witty, and, yes, scary story that is not for little children, but for adults with a bent for ironic tales about childhood icons.

Nazi-Punchers CAPTAIN SCIENCE "Traitors to the Earth!"

It was only his second story, and already Captain Science had his hands full...
...any way you look at it, it's a helluva way to begin your career!

Cap destroyed a threat by other humans (including Adolf Hitler) using alien tech and picked up a hot babe in the process!
Not bad for the second gig in his career!
Note, though it's only mentioned in a caption, it takes Gordon Dane months to prepare for his new career (though it's never explained how a guy on a teacher's salary can afford to cobble together the equipment he needs)...
The art on this never-reprinted story from Youthful's Captain Science #1 (1950)  is by Gustav Schrotter.
The writer is unknown.

Russkie Smashers BOBBY BENSON'S B-BAR-B RIDERS "Lemonade Kid in 'Invisible Death!' "

Spurs Jackson wasn't the only present-day cowboy to fight Russkies...

...or Russkies in fake flying saucers!




Tex Mason and Harka were supporting characters in the Mutual Network's Bobby Benson's B-Bar-B Riders radio show, which this comic series was based on!
Mason was the B-Bar-B Ranch foreman and Harka was one of the ranch hands.
However, the comic expanded the characters' roles making them undercover FBI special agents, which their employer, Bobby Benson, was unaware of!
Note: As you might expect, Bobby didn't recognize The Lemonade Kid as Tex when he ran into him whenever he was in costume!
This particular story from Magazine Enterprises' Bobby Benson's B-Bar-B Riders #3 (1950) was illustrated by Bob Powell and likely written by Gardner Fox.
Powell had quite a bit of experience with flying saucers in 1950, illustrating them in a one-shot comic about a hotshot test pilot finding an alien ship in Vic Torry and His Flying Saucer, as well as a story featuring the pulp/radio character The Shadow encountering REAL aliens in flying saucers!

Nazi-Punchers HIT COMICS "Ghost of Flanders in 'SpyMaster Sheink Steals the Secret Scouting Plane!' "

He's the Comic Character James Gunn Rescued From Obscurity in the Recent Superman Movie...

...and he's doing what he did best, kicking Nazi asses on the Home Front!






And, that's it!

No "The End" or epilogue.
Another story began on the very next page in the comic!
That's just how things rolled in the Golden Age.
Written and illustrated by George Brenner using the "Wayne Reid" house pseudonym, this never-reprinted tale from Quality Comics' Hit Comics #19 (1942) is straightforward about the concept that spies and saboteurs didn't deserve the niceties of the Geneva Convention!
And, though they didn't show it, it's implied the stolen scoutcraft was recovered.
Ghost of Flanders Will Return!
