Captain Midnight #14

A sinister German scientist named Count Storm Von Kloud unleashes a devastating tidal wave powered by lunar radium toward Chicago, vowing to destroy the city and kill Captain Midnight in one blow. When the hero discovers the plot, he must battle Von Kloud's aerial fortress and use his brilliant scientific inventions to transform the catastrophic wave before it wipes out America's second city. With his trusty ally at his side and Von Kloud's trail in his sights, Captain Midnight faces his most destructive adversary yet in this 1943 adventure.

Captain Albright returns to an India air base where Claire Wayne brings urgent news: her former tutor, Dr. Tsing Li, has developed a revolutionary rubber dehydrator that could transform Allied supply lines—but the Nazis and Japanese will stop at nothing to steal it. When Von Kloud strikes at Tsing Li's compound in Chungking, Captain Midnight must race to recover the invention before the villain escapes with both the plans and their inventor.

Captain Midnight investigates Nazi air bases hidden in the Alpine mountains of southeastern France, only to discover his arch-nemesis Count Storm Von Kloud orchestrating an elaborate camouflage system to shield hundreds of concealed fighter-bomber bases from detection. When Von Kloud's advanced Eagle plane forces Midnight down near the Swiss border, the ace inventor must work with the French Underground and the U.S. Consul in Geneva to devise a strategy to expose Von Kloud's operation—but a chance encounter and a carefully laid trap set the stage for a final confrontation with his most cunning foe yet.
