Timely Presents: All-Winners

    (Marvel, 1999)
™ and © Marvel Characters, Inc.

All-Winners Comics is a complete reprint of the classic Golden-Age All-Winners Comics #19 (1946), featuring the first appearance of Timely’s super-team, the All-Winners Squad. This group combined Timely’s “big three” (Captain America, the original Human Torch and the Sub-Mariner) along with sidekicks Toro and Bucky, plus lesser lights the Whizzer and Miss America. In the style of All-Star Comics, the heroes convene for an opening and closing framing sequence, but break into separate groups to fight the combined threat of Ibisa, an early atomic-age terrorist. The All-Winners Squad didn’t capture the imagination like DC’s Justice Society of America, appearing only once more in All-Winners #21. The group was eventually worked back into Marvel continuity in Giant-Size Avengers #1. The facsimile edition accurately reproduces the experience of the original comic, with yellow-tinted, slightly distressed pages and a new cover by Ray Lago modeled on the original. Roy Thomas provides an afterword.
