Man Comics #3

From the earliest days of Marvel Comics comes this 52-page anthology built entirely on true-life thrills. The cover by Bob Brown throws readers straight into a scene of maritime chaos — sailors and at least one woman are pitched about as the massive, gaping jaws of a whale surge up from the churning sea, dwarfing the desperate figures scrambling around it, their shouted arguments filling the air even in the midst of catastrophe. Billed as "the strangest adventure ever told," the feature story "Mantrap" promises a movie-length thriller alongside a second tale teasing a gripping struggle for power, making this June 1950 issue a genuinely packed read for a single dime.
