It's interesting how S&K essentially set the style for Timely covers for most of the forties.  Contrast the "busy" Timely covers with the poster style simplicity of the Fawcett covers.

More Golden-Age fun from Timely, starring Captain America, The Human Torch, and The Sub-Mariner in "All-Winners Comics"!

The 19th issue (shown above) is important as it features the first appearance of The All-Winners Squad, which was the first adult super team by Timely (Young Allies being the first with kids).There was no Invaders team in the actual Golden-Age comics.

Also, that marked the end of the series, seemingly, as the next issue was "All-Teen" #20. But, Golden-Age comics were often re-titled and re-numbered, and it can get confusing, because there was a 21st issue of "All-Winners," which really was the last issue of that series. The story in "All-Winners" #21 was also continued from "Young Allies" #20!
