Crack Comics #2

Crack Comics #2 from June 1940 packs a remarkable roster into 64 full-color pages, with the Black Condor — billed right on the cover as "The Man Who Can Fly!" — swooping dramatically across a vivid red background to send a startled villain reeling. Cover artist Gill Fox surrounds that central action with portrait medallions spotlighting four more featured heroes: the masked Clock, Jane Arden, the Red Torpedo, and Alias the Spider. With interior work by Will Eisner and Lou Fine among the contributors, this early Quality Comics anthology is a genuine snapshot of the Golden Age at full throttle.
