Captain Midnight #7

From the thick of World War II combat comes this 1943 Fawcett gem — Captain Midnight #7, priced at just ten cents. The cover puts the hero front and center in his red-and-blue suit, diving dramatically as camouflaged enemy warplanes streak through a smoke-filled sky and flames erupt around a large clock face below. A newspaper splash in the corner — headlined "Extra! Extra! Captain Midnight Foils Invasion!" — and a sign reading "Gen. Tojo's Gh[ost]" add vivid wartime urgency to the whole scene. Featuring the story "The Flying Guinea Pig!," this issue captures the patriotic, high-flying spirit that made Captain Midnight such a compelling figure for readers on the home front.
