Captain Midnight #41

Captain Midnight hurls himself through a storm of fire and shrapnel on this striking 1946 Fawcett cover, his orange-and-black uniform cutting through the explosion as an aircraft streaks across the smoke-filled sky above him. The cover promises that "The Meteoric Might of Captain Midnight Shatters Getways!" — and the image delivers on that energy with real kinetic force. Issue #41 is a fine example of the high-flying adventure that made this series a ten-cent treat for wartime and postwar readers alike.
