Captain Midnight #29

Captain Midnight #29 from Fawcett's March 1945 lineup captures America's high-flying hero at full throttle — red-suited and goggled, he rides a sleek yellow rocket-sled low over enemy territory as enemy aircraft fill the skies above and a squadron of grounded planes dots the landscape below. The cover's tagline ("Bursting like a bomb over Nippon!") matches the breathless energy of Leonard Frank's artwork, which puts the reader right in the cockpit of wartime adventure. With an interior story titled "Adventure in Black Gold," this issue promises the kind of globe-spanning, high-stakes action that made Captain Midnight one of Fawcett's most exciting wartime titles.
