In "The Truth of Dr. Mid-Nite's Identity," a 1942 tale from All-American Comics #37, the shadow of wartime tension looms over a munitions factory where two disgruntled employees plot against their boss—driven by outrage that he's selling weapons to the government at cost. When foreign agents are hired to silence him, the stage is set for a mystery that will test loyalty, truth, and the hidden identity behind the masked vigilante who watches from the dark.
