Exciting Comics #32

A striking piece of wartime pulp energy, this April 1944 issue of Exciting Comics features cover art by Alex Schomburg — and it's a breathtaking one. The Black Terror and his partner dive fearlessly through the sky over Nazi-occupied Norway, wrestling with a swastika-marked radio-controlled glider bomb while enemy aircraft fill the air above and warships trade fire on the waters below. The Red Cross War Fund badge in the corner is a quiet reminder of the real-world stakes that made covers like this resonate so deeply with 1944 readers.
