National Comics #5

In this 1940 classic, "The True Story of Uncle Sam—Who He Was and How He Came to Be" offers a mythic origin tale rooted in American history, told with the bold visual flair of Lou Fine’s striking cover and the distinctive artistry of Dan Zolnerowich, who both penciled and inked the interior pages. A fascinating blend of folklore and early superhero storytelling, the issue presents Uncle Sam not as a symbol, but as a man with a past, set against the backdrop of a nation’s founding.
