Feature Comics #50

Feature Comics #50 (November 1941) puts the spotlight squarely on the Doll Man, billed right on the cover as "America's comic sensation," and the image delivers on that promise — a caped, blue-suited hero rides a speeding torpedo or rocket-like projectile over a group of startled, sword-brandishing enemies wearing skull-marked helmets. Cover art by John Cassone and Gill Fox gives the scene a punchy, kinetic energy that perfectly captures the pulp adventure spirit of the era. Rounding out this anthology package are portrait vignettes for a rich roster of characters — Lala Palooza, Samar, Mickey Finn, Spin Shaw, Rust Ryan, Big Top, Swing Sisson, Reynolds of the Mounted, Bruce Blackburn, Poison Ivy, and Zero — making this a genuinely packed ten-cent value.
