Fightin' Five #37

This 1966 Charlton adventure pits the Fightin' Five against a looming threat suggested by the cover's dramatic imagery — a towering, caped villain with a glowing chest emblem presides over an enormous crown, while in the foreground a determined soldier in a red beret shouts "We've had it!" as silhouetted figures scramble across a closing drawbridge. The cover tag asks whether only these five can stop a mad genius from seizing the crown in a "Reign of Evil," setting up a high-stakes clash that feels genuinely urgent. Cover art by Bill Montes and Ernie Bache delivers bold, energetic compositions that made Charlton's action titles such a rewarding corner of 1960s comics.
