Fight Comics #27
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeDedicated to Uncle Sam's fighting men, this August 1943 issue of Fight Comics arrives with a cover by Dan Zolnerowich that crackles with wartime tension — a soldier in white uniform tumbles dramatically through a spinning aircraft engine while enemy figures in green close in around him, pistols drawn, against a jungle backdrop. Inside, the issue promises a full roster of action features including Rip Carson's "War-Loot for the Mikado," Señorita Rio billed as "America's Spy-Queen," plus Hooks Devlin, Shark Brodie, and Kayo Kirby. At just ten cents in 1943, this Fiction House anthology packed a remarkable amount of patriotic adventure into a single pulse-quickening package.
