Fight Comics #30

Fight Comics #30 (February 1944) arrives with one of the more viscerally tense covers Fiction House put out that year — Joe Doolin's artwork depicts a bound woman in a blue jumpsuit suspended diagonally by ropes while an enemy soldier menaces her with a knife, all set against a fiery orange sky over a jungle camp bustling with troops and a military jeep. The banner proudly declares this book "Dedicated to Uncle Sam's Fighting Men," and the featured story — Rip Carson trails Hirohito's Torture-Master in "Jeep-Raiders of Torture Jungle" — sets a suitably pulpy, wartime-action tone. Rounding out the lineup are Señorita Rio, Spy Queen; Hooks Devlin; and Shark Brodie, making this a packed ten-cent package of wartime adventure.
