Gwandanaland Comics #2335

This Gwandanaland Comics special reprints Captain Midnight #37, a February Fawcett issue brimming with mid-century adventure — and the cover delivers immediately: Captain Midnight in his red-and-black costume leaps dynamically through the sky, a glowing line in hand, while enemy soldiers below level weapons at him and a fleet of submarines lurks in the harbor behind them. A U.S. Navy blimp and a fighter plane fill the background sky, setting the stage for exactly the kind of action the cover promises — "Captain Midnight and the Blimp Patrol!" At $49.99, this 2019 reprint is a fine way to revisit the Golden Age thrills of one of Fawcett's most spirited aviator heroes.
