National Comics #34
"Big John Fales" delivers a wartime fantasy with a mythic twist, as the mysterious Unknown—once a prisoner of the Nazi regime—receives a divine summons from the goddess of Victory herself. Penciled and inked by Rudy Palais, the story blends wartime intrigue with supernatural intervention, following the Unknown’s sudden liberation and his unlikely rise against the Axis powers. The dramatic cover by Alex Kotzky captures the era’s bold spirit, a striking 10-cent comic from 1943 that stands out for its bold premise and striking art.
