Fight Comics #22

Dedicated to Uncle Sam's fighting men, this December 1942 issue of Fight Comics delivers a vivid wartime cover by Dan Zolnerowich, depicting a helmeted enemy soldier grappling with a woman in a red dress atop a wooden structure, while a fair-haired fighter engages him from below and parachutes fill a fiery yellow sky in the background. The issue promises a packed lineup including Rip Carson the 'Chute Trooper, Señorita Rio as a glamorous secret agent, Hooks Devlin, and Shark Brodie. Fiction House was firing on all cylinders with this one — a ten-cent slice of wartime action adventure that captures the energy and urgency of 1942 perfectly.
