U. S. A. Comics [USA Comics; U.S.A. Comics] #1
"The Hideous Dame Kackle" kicks off in U.S.A. Comics #1 (1941), a standout early entry in Marvel's Golden Age lineup, featuring a gripping tale of betrayal and vengeance. When crook Granno forces Dr. Frank to commit a fatal act in the operating room and then abandons him to a brutal fate in Africa, his son—now the Whizzer—sees the truth and sets his sights on justice. Al Avison's art, inked by Al Gabriele, brings the story to life with dynamic energy, while Jack Kirby and Joe Simon's cover captures the menace of the title's eponymous villain with striking flair.
