Fight Comics #28

Dedicated to Uncle Sam's fighting men, this October 1943 issue of Fight Comics delivers a vivid wartime cover by Ruben Moreira — a helmeted American paratrooper charges forward with bayonet raised against a backdrop of roaring flames, while a menacing enemy soldier looms over a struggling red-haired woman in the foreground. The issue is packed with features including Rip Carson – Chute Trooper in "Blood Vengeance of the Lightning Legion," Shark Brodie, Hooks Devlin, and Señorita Rio in the story "Viva, Gaucho!" — written by Rollin W. Bell with art by Ruben Moreira. Fiction House was firing on all cylinders in 1943, and this action-charged anthology captures exactly the kind of high-stakes wartime energy the series was known for.
