Captain Midnight #41

Captain Midnight faces a mystery when a series of daring, acrobatic crimes sweep the city—each bearing the impossible signature of a master stunt performer thought long dead. When the vigilante learns that the legendary Tommy Trimble, who perished in a plane crash years ago, may have somehow survived, he sets a trap designed to appeal to the criminal's ego and capture him alive. As Captain Midnight pursues the "Stunt Thief" across rooftops, cargo planes, and speeding trains, the truth behind Trimble's return—and his dangerous new line of work—begins to unravel.

Captain Midnight orchestrates an audacious deception on Palui Island, using a radio-controlled gun system to convince the Japanese that the island is defended by a massive American force—when in reality, he's holding the line alone. When enemy scouts threaten to expose the ruse, Captain Midnight must race against time to intercept their radio message and eliminate the Japanese battleship Osawa before the enemy can redirect their assault and discover the phantom army's secret.

Captain Midnight races to stop a daring theft when inventor Captain Albright's revolutionary Y-Ray—a device that can see through anything at tremendous distances—falls into enemy hands. Captured and bound for Tokyo, Captain Midnight must rely on his wits and his trusty knife to turn the tables on the Japanese agents and their traitorous accomplice, Inspector Perk. With the fate of American military superiority hanging in the balance, the outcome will determine whether Captain Midnight emerges a hero or falls victim to his own ingenuity.
