If spies need to be smashed, Spy Smasher is your man! Created by writer Bill Parker and artist C. C. Beck, Spy Smasher made his debut in "Whiz Comics" #2 (February 1940). Spy Smasher was published by Fawcett Comics, also the home of Captain Marvel. Spy Smasher's adventures lasted until around the end of World War II, after which he changed his name to Crime Smasher.
The first story I want to share comes from The Internet Archive's version of "Whiz Comics" #2. These are the nicest looking scans of this comic I've seen on the Internet.

The second story I want to share is from "Whiz Comics" #6 (July 1940) from Digital Comic Museum. This is the story in which the beginning was "borrowed" by DC Comics for a Wonder Woman story that appeared in "Sensation Comics" #5 (May 1942)!
Now I'd like to share a story that's the same length as the two stories above combined together! The cover comes from Heritage Auctions but the rest of "Spy Smasher" #10 comes from DCM. This is my personal favorite Spy Smasher story.
I hope everyone enjoyed all of these smashing stories about Spy Smasher! Many thanks, as always, go to the scanners and uploaders who were nice enough to share these classic comics.
