WOW is right!!

THE BIG ALL-AMERICAN COMIC BOOK Vol.1, No.1, December 1944;  Cover Art:  Various;  Writer:  Various;  Penciler:  Various;  Inker:  Various
Set aside a whole day or so for this one;  if we listed every story title from this amazing 132-page anthology, there would be no room to talk about it!  A collaboration between All-American Publications and printer William H. Wise& Company, who had a surplus allotment of paper under the restrictive rules for conserving materials imposed during World War II, The Big All-American Comic Book stars everyone from Wonder Woman to The Flash, the two headlining heroes that bookend additional tales featuring the Atom, Johnny Thunder, Hop Harrigan, GreenLantern, Wildcat, Hawkman, and many more.  In “Danny the Demon Had Plans,” Wonder Woman races to clear Steve Trevor on a murder charge, while in “The Million Dollar Apple,” The Flash and the Three Dimwits have to help explorer Robert Cromwell when a valuable emerald he discovered is hidden in an apple…and lost at a fruit stand.
