Council of Four

In 1944, Syd Miller launched Council of Four for a single issue, a wartime comic that assembled a quartet of heroes to battle threats beyond the scope of any one champion. Though its run was brief, the series stands as a notable early example of the "team-up" concept in comics, predating many of the genre's more famous super-groups. Miller's work here is a snapshot of Golden Age ambition, offering a compact but complete story of four distinct figures uniting for a common cause.
