“Flaming Terror”

"Flaming Terror" in Marvel Mystery Comics #40 (1943) delivers a pulse-pounding wartime thriller as Torch and Toro race to stop a hidden Japanese airfield beneath the Mojave Desert from launching devastating attacks on San Francisco. With a napalm-like weapon poised to strike, the duo takes matters into their own hands when the army comes up empty. The story unfolds with gritty urgency, illustrated by Harry Sahle in both pencils and inks, while Alex Schomburg’s cover captures the fiery menace of the threat.
