Captain Marvel Jr. #91

A striking 1950 Fawcett publication, this issue of Captain Marvel Jr. features Kurt Schaffenberger's cover depicting the red-and-gold-clad hero soaring through a star-filled space backdrop, rocket trails blazing behind him as he faces some cosmic threat head-on. The bold banner promises "Meteor Action" and "The Ice Monster," teasing Bill Woolfolk and Joe Certa's interior adventure, "The Giant Ice Monster." At just a dime for 52 pages of full-color excitement, this issue captures the boundless optimism of 1950s superhero comics at its most vivid.
