| The exciting debut of Captain Nazi! He makes a fantastic villain, one that both Captain Marvel and Bulletman have to fight, and he gets away in the end. He will next turn up in Whiz Comics # 25, where he'll inadvertently bring about the debut of Captain Marvel, Jr. One of the very earliest comic book crossovers (maybe the very first) and it is a true landmark in the Golden Age of Comics! |

| I couldn't agree more, well put. Landmark issues are always special. I would have liked a double length story, considering it's a crossover with Capt. Marvel into a Bulletman tale; and with a new and very special villain. Mac Raboy's artwork is well up to standard. |
