*Miscellaneous 1940-1959: The Fighting Yank (Nedor) and Spy Smasher (Fawcett) were two costumed heroes originating during WWII and created to help the war effort; two of many such characters from that time. Fighting Yank, his costume inspired by the Spirit of ’76, had superhuman powers and devices. Spy Smasher was more of a Batman clone-type detective. They both took on the Japs (and others), both home and around the world. The Bute Collection affords us one comic of each.
