Black Hood Comics #9

From MLJ Magazines' Winter 1943 issue, this ten-cent gem puts the Black Hood front and center in his blue masked costume, one gloved hand raised as he solemnly swears his oath: "neither threats, nor bribes, nor bullets, nor death itself shall keep me from fulfilling my sacred vow — to erase crime from the face of the earth!" Cover artist Clem Weisbecker gives the hero a striking, direct presence against that vivid red background, making the pledge feel genuinely urgent. The issue also promises stories featuring the Hangman and the Boy Buddies, making this a packed Winter 1943 package for fans of MLJ's costumed crime-fighters.
