From the letters column in
Tales Of Suspense #72 (1965), a statement on
realpolitik and the proper subject for comic book stories:
Nazis were "
at a new low" in 1965? Say it isn't so!
Of course, this letter could come up again in the post-
Cold War era..."Dear editors...the communists are at a new low.
Cap should be fighting..."
Perhaps more contentious is
George Hagenauers feelings about
kid sidekicks. It apparently hurt Captain America's feelings!
Of course, in 2011
DC would adopt George's position on sidekicks, rebooting
all of them out of existence (except for seemingly infinite
Robins). They even still have a
Teen Titans mag where none of them (save
Tim Drake) were ever young sidekicks.
Sigh...
