Fawcett Publications · Whiz Comics #21 · September 1941 · 10¢ · 68 pages
Grade: Good+ (GD+ 2.5)
Cover credits unconfirmed for this issue.
The cover bills a “Squadron of Justice” Captain Marvel story — one of the recurring team-up concepts Fawcett deployed in Whiz during the early war years, drawing together the extended cast of the Marvel Family universe before that family was fully formalized. Specific page count, plot details, and creator credits for this issue's individual stories are not confirmed in our records, and we won't reconstruct them from guesswork.
Whiz Comics was the flagship Fawcett title and the home of the original Captain Marvel from issue #2 forward. By #21, the book was running multiple features alongside Cap — Spy Smasher, Ibis the Invincible, Golden Arrow, and Scoop Smith were all regulars in this period, making it a true Golden Age anthology in the fullest sense.
The “Be An American” insignia on the cover is a period marker worth noting — Fawcett used it across multiple titles in 1941 as wartime patriotism worked its way into the newsstands. It's a small detail that places this copy exactly in its moment.
Condition Good+ (GD+ 2.5) — Above average Good. Significant wear but slightly better than a straight GD. Presentable space filler. Complete interior, structurally sound, and unrestored.
We use what the scientists are calling artificial intelligence to research and write our descriptions — it gives us more time to add books to our website and provide you with a wider array of inventory. We think Klaatu would approve. Details are verified but the robot does slip up. We're not infallible. Every book is graded by a human collector who has actually held it. If anything ever looks off, reach on out at robopictocomics@gmail.com.
