Fight Comics #3

Fight Comics #3 delivers everything its tagline — "Two Fisted Adventures of Men of Action" — promises, with a cover by Will Eisner that's hard to look away from: a skull-emblazoned giant of a man towers over a cityscape, clutching warplanes in his bare hands while more aircraft swarm around him. The issue features Shark Brodie, Strut Warren, Kinks Mason, Terry O'Brien, and many others, making this March 1940 anthology a genuinely packed ten-cent thrill. Eisner's bold linework gives the whole scene a raw, kinetic energy that captures the restless spirit of 1940 pulp adventure at its most vivid.
