Bulletman #12

A satisfying slice of 1943 Fawcett superhero action, this issue of Bulletman the Flying Detective features a cover by Jack Binder that pits the red-and-yellow-clad Bulletman and his similarly helmeted partner Bulletgirl against a menacing metal robot, while a sinister bespectacled villain lurks at the right — with a pair of dogs and a small robot pup scurrying along the bottom for good measure. The story inside promises "The Return of the Crackpot," suggesting the duo's troubles are far from over. As a bonus, readers in 1943 could flip to page 20 for a chance at one of 500 prizes by naming the canine companion — a fun interactive touch that made this issue feel like an event.
