Item Description
Captain Battle had a brief run as a superpatriot comic book hero in the early 1940s. He made his first appearance in "Silver Streak Comics" #10 in May, 1941, then appeared in "Captain Battle Comics" from 1941-1943. Readers who promised to uphold the principles of Americanism and the Constitution could join the Captain Battle Boys' Brigade. This 15.5x18.5" professionally framed and double-matted display contains printed reproduction of comic book ad for the Boys' Brigade, w/the actual items advertised integrated into the display. These include 1.75" dia. "Silver Streak Comics - Captain Battle Boys' Brigade" premium button. One of the rarest, and unusually large, early comic book club member's buttons, this dates from 1941. Glossy and Exc. Also included is even rarer 2.5x3.75" membership card which has been signed in ink on provided line. As framed, both sides of card are visible, back of frame showing side of card w/Captain Battle image and Boys' Brigade rules/creed. Card has .5" tear at upper center from button attachment and some handling wear, but as framed displays Fine. Rare and first we've offered in our 46 years. The ultimate Captain Battle display.
