Captain Midnight #21

A vivid snapshot of wartime aviation adventure, this June 1944 Fawcett issue puts Captain Midnight right in the cockpit, his red flight suit and aviator goggles unmistakable as enemy aircraft bank and streak through the clouds overhead. A second figure, wide-eyed and clearly alarmed behind the cockpit glass, adds an immediate sense of danger to the scene. With a story titled "Death in the Dismal Swamp" waiting inside, this issue captures the high-stakes, patriotic energy that made Captain Midnight one of the most exciting adventure comics of the war years.
