Danny Blaze #2

Charlton's firefighting hero faces a decidedly unusual blaze in Danny Blaze #2, where the cover — illustrated and inked by Manny Stallman — depicts a snarling lion lunging through billowing smoke toward a wide-eyed woman and a desperate man in a suit. The promise of "action-packed firefighting stories" gets a wild twist here, with the chaos of "Lions On The Loose!" suggesting that Danny Blaze's world involves far more than just hoses and ladders. Rounding out the package are two additional features — "The Mad Inventor Meets Danny Blaze" and the warehouse-fire drama "Back Draught" — making this 1955 ten-cent issue a genuinely packed read.
