Captain Midnight #61

In "Masters Glacier Peak," Captain Albright ventures into the frozen wilds of the Arctic to settle a mystery at Glacier Peak, where a $100,000 prize awaits the first scientist to conquer and explore the remote peak. Two rival expeditions have both claimed the reward, and with no clear evidence, Albright must navigate treacherous terrain and conflicting stories to uncover the truth.

Pilot Pete shows Captain Midnight a ramshackle aircraft he's assembled from junkyard parts, and the captain wastes no time ribbing him about the eyesore—suggesting "Bath Tub" might be the perfect name for a contraption nobody would want to be seen flying. It's a quick, good-natured ribbing between the two aviators that captures the humor of 1948 aviation comics.

Absent-minded Adelbert's careless confusion leads to a hilarious mix-up when he confuses his cat with himself—with predictably chaotic results. It's a brief, punchy laugh courtesy of a collector's favorite era of humor comics.

Pilot Pete gets ribbed by a fellow flyer about his supposedly outdated aircraft, leading to a boastful comparison that lands our hero with a perfectly timed comeback in this quick aviation gag from 1948.

Captain Midnight takes his young friends on a European bicycle tour that quickly turns dangerous when a reckless cabbie's hit-and-run attempt and a sudden thunderstorm force them to shelter in a barn—only to discover that one of the group has vanished in the night. As the great inventor and his companions race to uncover what happened, they find themselves caught up in a mystery that leads them to a shadowy chateau and forces Captain Midnight to transform into his crime-fighting persona to save the day.
