| Page 63: dark, evil smelling cells...? What exactly does evil smell like? Money? LOL! Page 65: Dictator is named Radolf.... Hmmmmm, that's a rather thin attempt at a name change by Quality Comics don't you think? |

| gotta agree with you on radolf it strikes me that not a lot of comic companies wanted to directly attack adolf because in august 1940 there was a huge anti getting america involved in the eoropean war sentiment so i think quality comics was pushing it as far as they dared |
