Keen Detective Funnies #23

This August 1940 issue of Keen Detective Funnies announces the arrival of Air Man with a cover by Harry Sahle that's hard to miss — the winged hero swoops across the sky clutching a rescued woman in a red dress while a pirate's boat erupts in a spectacular explosion below them. The cover blurb explains that Air Man dispatched the pirates with one of his secret pellets, and the action-packed image makes a convincing case for why this new character earns top billing. Inside, readers will also find stories featuring The Eye, Dean Denton, Spark O'Leary, Dan Dennis, and Dean Masters, making this an especially packed ten-cent package.
