International Man Of Power Comics
>Maurice del Bourgo did the cover for Issue #2 of Narrative Publisher's Power Comics, although the character he created does not actually appear in the comic book. This "International Man" had an outfit comprised of the flags of several different nations of the Allied Forces while performing a Three Stooges act on a certain Hitler and Hirohito. Considering this issue came out in 1945 just before the United Nations was organized, it might have been an effort by Narrative to pitch a mascot for them to use. The artist worked on Golden Age characters like Airboy, Crimson Avenger, and Green Arrow, but it is seriously hard to make out what he had in mind with International Man's outfit. There is way more detail going in this character's attire than you normally would have found at the time making it louder than a sonic boom, so you wouldn't see super duds this clashing until the 1990s. It's nearly impossible to see this hero as a regular character in the comic because the artist would have to spend a week just do a single panel of these tacky rags. This was released a few months before WWII would end, so it's hard to say if Narrative had any future plans for this walking flag factory who is more of a margarita mix of icons than being an actual character.
