In "The Blackout Blitz of J-97," horn player Jimmy Hoople finds himself in a frantic race against time to reach a wartime concert—only to crash his jeep into a general’s car during a citywide blackout. Written by Mickey Spillane and illustrated with sharp, dramatic flair by Alex Schomburg, this 1942 issue captures the tension and urgency of wartime America, all rendered in the bold, dynamic style of the era.
