Exciting Comics #62

Exciting Comics #62 brings pulse-quickening tension to the summer of 1948 with a cover by Alex Schomburg that puts a red-haired woman at the center of a desperate struggle — tangled in a heavy rope net, she clutches a small blade and works furiously to cut herself free while two warriors bearing shields and spears charge toward her across an open field. Schomburg's eye for dynamic composition is on full display here, drawing the eye straight to her determined expression as danger closes in. Inside, Ralph Mayo brings "Vengeance of U'Bongo!" to life alongside the Black Terror, billed right at the top as the Nemesis of Crime.
