![]() ![]() When we get into the ‘70s Invaders series, you’ll see TONS more Timely Comics Super Heroes reintroduced into modern Marvel.īut back to the All-Winners Squad. ![]() ![]() They came back in the ‘60s and ‘70s, as part of Invaders retro hype, and they’d later join the Invaders and Liberty Legion. Miss America had super strength and durability and could kinda fly Whizzer’s a speedster. They were Timely Comics-era heroes who appeared in lots of comics in the ‘40s. Let’s take a real quick diversion on Miss America and Whizzer, because they come in and out of Invaders history. The Squad originally only appeared in ALL-WINNERS COMICS #19 and #21, but influenced the creation of not only the Invaders, but also the Liberty Legion and the V-Battalion. The team was Namor, Captain America, Bucky, Human Torch, Toro, Miss America, and the Whizzer. The All-Winners Squad, a sort of prototype for the Invaders, first came together in ALL-WINNERS COMICS #19 in 1946. So how do the comics of the ‘40s factor in? Many folks look to the All-Winners Squad-a similar squad that appeared twice in the comics of the late 1940s-as the basis for the Invaders. That led to the ongoing INVADERS series that ran from 1975 to 1979. The Invaders, as an official team, didn’t show up or get a name or introduction until the ‘70s, with GIANT-SIZE INVADERS #1. So, when did the Invaders first appear? The ‘40s, right? NO! Kinda?! Here’s where it can get a little confusing. There have been some other iterations over the years, but this key group is who we really consider to be the Invaders. The Invaders core and most memorable team consists of Captain America, Bucky Barnes, Namor, the original android Human Torch, and Torch’s sidekick and fellow flamed-up hero Toro. Second, we’re celebrating Marvel’s 80th Anniversary, particularly the ‘30s and ‘40s this month, and the Invaders is a team that formed during World War II, assembled by British Prime Minister Winston Churchill to battle the Axis powers and aid the allied forces during the war. First, we have a really great new INVADERS comic written by Chip Zdarsky with art by Butch Guice and Carlos Magno. There are a few reasons that we wanted to talk about the Invaders on the newest episode of This Week in Marvel. ![]()
