Mary Marvel #5

Mary Marvel soars in style on this September 1946 cover, depicted astride a magnificent giant butterfly whose richly patterned wings — splashed in red, blue, and gold — spread wide against a dramatic dark background. Jack Binder's cover art captures "The World's Mightiest Girl" in her red-and-yellow costume, cape streaming behind her, gripping the butterfly's antennae with confident ease. With Otto Binder writing and the promise of "Fantasy, Adventure, Humor" advertised right on the cover, issue #5 looks like a genuinely delightful ride into whimsical adventure.
