Exciting Comics #60

Few Golden Age covers command attention quite like this March 1948 issue of Exciting Comics, where Alex Schomburg delivers a breathtaking underwater scene: a red-haired woman in a tattered blue swimsuit, knife in hand, grapples fiercely with a massive shark in luminous green depths. The tension is palpable — she's clearly fighting back, blades drawn against the predator as coral and bubbles swirl around them. Also featuring the Black Terror, "Nemesis of Crime," this issue pairs Schomburg's vivid cover artistry with Ralph Mayo's interior work on "The Treasure of Lobengula!" — a title that promises plenty of adventure for its ten-cent asking price.
