Captain Midnight #45

Fawcett's Captain Midnight swings into action on this October 1946 cover, rendered by Leonard Frank, showing the red-suited hero gripping the hands of an enormous clock face as he arcs dramatically against a glowing full moon above a shadowy city skyline — with a sleek aircraft streaking through the upper corner for good measure. The cover's tagline promises the "Lord of the Overworld" springing to adventure, perfectly setting the stage for Bill Woolfolk's interior tale, "The Stratosphere Treasure Hunt." It's a wonderfully atmospheric piece of Golden Age excitement that captures everything thrilling about Captain Midnight at his high-flying best.
