One Panel #270-272: Behind You!

From Hawkman: "Trouble in Suburbia" by Gardner Fox and Sheldon Moldoff, Flash Comics #11 (November 1940)

This week, heroes who should practice a little more self-awareness. Villains often come up from behind. And what's this? Hawkman is a practiced safe cracker?!

From The Red Bee: "Flatboat No. 26" by Charles Nicholas (as B.H. Apiary), Hit Comics #5 (November 1940)

The Red Bee, far from being the mort to end all morts, is really cool, guys. I swear. Look at how he gets out of his bonds, while drowning under water, by maneuvering himself perfectly as a swordfish attacks.

From "The True Story of Uncle Sam--Who He Was and How He Came To Be" by Will Eisner and Dan Zolnerowich, National Comics #5 (November 1940)

And Uncle Sam's origin story shows even the Spirit of America isn't immune to this simple strategy, though if you flatten his hat, you might just piss him off.
