Captain Midnight #49

Three orange-and-blue-clad figures streak in tight formation across a blazing golden sky, with Captain Midnight himself surging toward the reader in the foreground — goggles up, jaw set, the telltale clock emblem on his chest — while a sleek aircraft cuts through the background above. The cover copy promises readers they'll be "Searing Through the Skyways with the Dauntless Space-Sovereign," and Dan Barry's bold linework delivers exactly that sense of velocity and purpose. This 1947 Fawcett adventure is a fine snapshot of postwar superhero energy at its most aerodynamically thrilling.
