Master Comics #112

High above a packed circus crowd, Captain Marvel Jr. clings to a trapeze bar while a menacing acrobat — red-clad and snarling — grapples with an older, white-haired figure mid-air in this kinetic 1950 Fawcett cover by Kurt Schaffenberger. The diagonal tension of the rigging, the gasping audience below, and Jr.'s determined expression make it instantly clear that something dangerous is unfolding under the big top. Rounding out the issue are additional features starring Nyoka and Tom Mix, making this a genuinely satisfying package of Golden Age adventure.
