I have subscribed to one or two at different times. I do like the formats.

...I'm just trying to puzzle out why the quotes by Hitler, Mussolini and Stalin are in Hebrew, and wondering if it actually says something in Hebrew or just if it's just random gibberish... I"m more fascinated by the fact that Cornies was ok with having Hitler, Stalin and Mussolini endorsing their product.
I am Jewish but can't read Hebrew, but agree that this at least looks like the proper language.
Looking closer at it, this is not a regular newsstand comic. This is a humorous satire on comics. My guess is that it was done for a Jewish/Yiddish audience, and that the Axis leaders were complaining about how the comic mocked them.

This is as far as I got. I made the Hebrew as clear as I could. To translate online I needed to turn it into text. I tried several online OCR (optical character recognition) but none worked. So here is the clearest, text only image I could make, if anyone else wants to take a shot at it.

Didn’t know about this until now, I wish I had the issue: My kids used to have something like this for the Simpsons' Springfield.

Looks like a superhero to me: A superhero with 5000 weapons, 5,000,000 rounds of ammo, and they just purchased $700,000 more of ammo, for their newly hired 87,000 new auditors/enforcers. My hero.

Point of information, tonebone: "A 2021 U.S. Treasury Department report estimating that around $80 billion in funding would allow the IRS to incrementally hire nearly 87,000 employees by the year 2031. Most of those hires would be replacements for workers retiring from existing positions, including not only IRS enforcement agents, but also customer service and technology specialists. According to the Treasury Department, audit rates for those earning less than $400,000 in actual income will not rise. (Italics mine) The IRS is not planning to hire 87,000 new tax agents for the purposes of targeting or 'coming for' Americans who earn below a certain income." www.snopes.com/fact-check/irs-87000-new-agents/ time.com/6204928/irs-87000-agents-factcheck-biden/

People have talked about "modern recoloring" of classic comics. On Cartoonist Kayfabe the other day, they showed a particularly egregious example, comparing the first Sub-Mariner story as reprinted in one of Marvel's hardcovers to a facsimile edition of the original printing. The video jumps to the relevant section.

About coloring, I have bitched about this for some time. Though Marvel recently announced they are going to try to do reprints closer to original printed comic.
From Villarrubia today: Friggin Marvel!
