You can read more about this in the links above.
This one is said to be full of comic firsts -
* First parody on comic books
* First picture of and reference to Hitler
* First oversized comic
* First 15 cent cover price
* 'Supersam' is first superman parody including an upended car alluding to Action#1.
* First sidekick 'Beelzebub' the wonder dog.
* In a one-page gag, war planes drop copies of 'Gus the Goon Comics' on a German town, and a running Nazi, as WWII propaganda. 'Gus' apparently beat the other Golden Age heroes in going against the 'Axis of Evil.' |
