Exciting Comics #57

A vivid slice of 1947 adventure pulp energy, this issue of Exciting Comics features a cover by Alex Schomburg that pulls you right into the action: a determined young woman in a blue outfit draws her bow with fierce concentration, taking aim at a chaotic scene unfolding near ancient ruins in the background, where figures scramble amid cargo and scattered goods. The masthead proudly bills the Black Terror as the "Nemesis of Crime," promising plenty of two-fisted thrills inside alongside the jungle intrigue on display. Ralph Mayo's interior work on "Spoils for the Slick" rounds out what looks to be a thoroughly entertaining package from Pines.
