Fight Comics #39

Fight Comics #39 brings together a striking cast of Fiction House heroes on a cover that practically leaps off the newsstand — a dark-haired woman in a golden dress levels a pistol with cool determination in the foreground, while a blond hero battles monstrous figures in a cave behind her, chains and clubs flying. The banner proudly announces Tiger Girl as "the newest sensation," and the issue also promises Señorita Rio in "Slave Brand of the Spider Cult," plus Shark Brodie, Rip Carson, Hooks Devlin, and Kayo Kirby. Cover art by Joe Doolin and Lily Renée gives the whole scene an urgent, pulp-adventure energy that perfectly captures Fiction House at its action-packed best in 1945.
