The Doctor Will See You Now

Doctor Jim Bradley, pretty upset at all the crime victims that come into Mercy Hospital, decides to do something about it.  Using a truth serum, he injects it into people to get to the bottom of criminal activities.  This is one doctor that won't take things lying down! 

Doctor Nemesis made his first appearance in "Lightning Comics" Vol. 1 #6 (April 1941), published by Ace Magazines.  He is another hero who wears a minimalist costume, if you can call it that.  I'm unsure of who created the character, as he is now mixed up and identified as a Marvel Comics character, due to Marvel using the name for a new, unrelated character that has nothing to do with the original Golden Age version.  The first story I'm going to share with you is signed "B. Currie".  I have no idea who that is.  I do know that the good doctor had a total of twelve appearances.  The final four appearances of Doctor Nemesis were in "Super-Mystery Comics" and he had his name abbreviated as Dr. Nemesis. 

I guess I should warn people the stories I'm about to share are pretty gruesome!  Here is "Lightning Comics" Vol. 3 #1 (June 1942).  (I wish this splash was connected together.)

If everyone is still with me, I have another shocking story to share with you!  This one also comes with a warning, not just for the appearance of the zombie-like victims in the story, but also due to its racist content.  The villain X2 is an exaggeration of an Asian in appearance, and he clearly is anti-American.  If this offends you, please don't read it.  Here is "Super-Mystery Comics" Vol. 4 #1 (January 1944). 

I hope everyone enjoyed this article, despite the violence and racism displayed in the stories I chose.  I could have played it safe and chose stories more geared for those whose modern sensibilities want everything squeaky clean.  But these stories are good examples of the attitudes American writers and artists had during this period, and I am not a censor.  America was involved in a war with the Axis powers and not many people here had any sympathy for the people in Germany, Japan or Italy.  Thankfully we gotten past that and are now at peace with these countries.

Thank you once more to all the scanners and uploaders.  Please scan and upload the remainder of the Doctor Nemesis stories, as I am one fan who wants to read them all.
