In "Mystery of the Air Raid Spotters," the wartime menace of Nazi spies takes a deadly turn as Von Sar’s bombing squadron targets air raid spotters—men whose vigilance protects American cities—using fifth columnists to eliminate them before strikes. With the help of Torch and Toro, the nation’s defenses are tested in a race against sabotage and deception. Art by Harry Sahle, with a striking cover by Alex Schomburg, this 1943 issue delivers suspense and heroism in the shadow of war.
