Captain Midnight #20

Fawcett's wartime aviation hero gets a striking dual-identity treatment on this 1944 cover, where the figure is split literally down the middle — one half the civilian Captain Albright in a sharp suit, the other the red-suited Captain Midnight in full hero regalia, together embodying the "Brain and Brawn Against the Axis!" banner blazoned across the bottom. Military aircraft circle in the skies behind him, grounding the image firmly in the WWII combat atmosphere that defined the era. At 10 cents, issue #20 captures the patriotic energy of 1944 Fawcett comics in one cleverly composed image.
