Captain Midnight #9

A vivid snapshot of wartime adventure from 1943, this Fawcett issue places Captain Midnight himself center stage — his orange-and-blue flight suit caught in a dramatic searchlight beam as he streaks through a pitch-black sky, with enemy aircraft closing in around him. The cover teases "The Mississippi Marauder" and promises readers a story built around submarines threatening America's heartland waterway. At 68 pages of full color for just a dime, this is a fine example of the high-flying, patriotic pulp energy that made wartime comics such a compelling read.
