Notes: The Destroyer was an early character supposedly created by Stan Lee, about a superhero
working from within Nazi Germany. With art by Jack Binder, I guess the hero could have
originated at a shop as well? I am not sure if Lee wrote all the Destroyer stories, but he did
like to do phoney German accents, even in some of his text stories. - Ger Apeldoorn

Notes: Great text story. The narrator introduces the editor of the book, who tells the reader why
he has chosen these heroes for this book. As Stan Lee later would do in his stroies, he
pretends that the heroes actually exist in the same universe as the editor. He also ends
with a typical 'and there you have it, pals'. Some people have said Stan Lee's bantering with
the readers was something he picked up from Lev Gleason, but here he's at it twenty years
before the Fantastic Four came along. - Ger Apeldoorn.
