Captain Midnight #16

From the cockpit of his aircraft, Captain Midnight surveys a massive enemy air armada filling the sky — dozens of planes stretching to the horizon — while the cover copy boldly declares he's striking deep into Austria. Sheldon Moldoff's cover art captures the hero in his distinctive red flight suit and aviator goggles, one gloved hand raised as if sizing up the overwhelming odds ahead. This 1944 Fawcett wartime issue crackles with the urgency of the home-front era, pairing Rod Reed's writing with C. C. Beck's interior art for a story that promises high-altitude adventure behind enemy lines.
