(Human Torch v1 005a, 1941)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

This is kind of a weird one in a few ways, the first being that the foundation of the plot is that a) Namor the Sub-Mariner and the Angel both own Caribbean islands and b) that they are good enough friends for Namor to pay the Angel a visit. During this visit one of Namor’s servants bursts in and promptly drops dead in an effort to deliver a note cryptically warning of a zombie takeover.<\/p>\n

Namor takes off on his own and indeed! Zombies have taken over his island! Kind of!<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

I mean, even by 1940s standards of zombie these are clearly either costumed goons or some sort of monstrous humanoid group. They’re not explicitly identified as fancy dress Nazis until the third-to-last panel, but come on. Buncha goose-steppers establishing military bases and concentration camps across the Caribbean? That’s Nazis.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

The Nazombies mostly employ conventional weaponry but seem to have hit up the “underwater” section of the Comic Book Nazi Superweapon department, as not only are they fielding undersea tabks but these extremely<\/i> cool personal shark submersibles <\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

This is, by the way, your go-to comic if you have ever wanted to see the Golden Age Angel get crucified by a bunch of Nazi zombies. Not to worry though: Namor rescues him and from then on it’s strictly Nazi-punching time.<\/p>\n

I don’t reckon that the Nazombies have enough potential to be BRUNG BACK<\/b> but it really seems like the shark-sub tech is ripe for revival in the hands of coastal raiders or something. Once such a revolutionary technology is unleashed it can’t be put back in the bottle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
