The Secret Origin of SAMSON! Plus DAVID!

Samson debuted in FANTASTIC COMICS #1 (December 1939), but that story didn't feature his secret origin. And I figured an origin is better than a first appearance. I may be wrong. But the story you're going to get is from SAMSON #1, because that does feature his origin.

We also see how Samson acquired his sidekick, David, in this story. Although David made his first appearance slightly earlier in FANTASTIC COMICS #10 (September 1940).

Okay, blah, boring, read:

SAMSON and DAVID: Boys Will be Boys!

Golden-age homoerotica at it's finest:

FANTASTIC COMICS #10 (Sept 1940) The cover reads: "SAMSON gripped the gangster pilot with one mighty arm, And with the other..." Well, look what he has in his other hand. What do you think he did next...?	FANTASTIC COMICS #11 (Oct 1940) Samson wrecks the torture machine with a "mighty blow." Kinda looks like the guy he's rescuing has a mighty blow on his mind as well...
FANTASTIC COMICS #16 (March 1941) The cover reads: "The mighty SAMSON smashes the war-like dictators!" What has that got to do with the cover? I guess it wouldn't have done to say: "David admires the way SAMSON handles large, hard objects!"	SAMSON #6 (June 1941) Who says tentacle porn is only for wimmen?
