Minute-Man was Fawcett Comics’ answer to Captain America.
However, unlike Cap or MLJ’s Shield, Jack Weston didn’t require any chemical enhancements to pummel our nation’s enemies.
Kicking Axis butt just came naturally.
His most notable nemesis was Mr. Skeleton - a ghoulish Red Skull knock-off who enjoyed boiling people alive.
Hey, at least they didn’t call him Red Skeleton!
Of course, the One-Man Army faced the skeletal freak in final battle …
… which ended with the villain literally falling to pieces!
So let’s hear it for Minute-Man - yet another kick-butt hero from the Golden Age who deserved a better fate than a gruesome, off-panel death in Geoff Johns’ Justice Society of America.
