Exciting Comics #50

A gang of masked, gun-toting thieves making off with U.S. Mint money bags meets its match on this 1946 Alex Schomburg cover, as the Black Terror — dressed in his signature black-and-yellow skull-emblazoned costume — squares off against the whole crew right at the Mint's exit door. Schomburg fills every inch of the image with kinetic tension: bullets flying, crooks scrambling, and the "Nemesis of Crime" standing firm against overwhelming odds. Inside, Mike Suchorsky brings the action to life with "The Case of the Million Dollar Bequest," making this a satisfying package for any fan of golden-age heroics.
