Master Comics #123

High above a city skyline, Captain Marvel Jr. — in his blue and gold costume — streaks through the air in pursuit of a gun-toting villain dressed in red, the so-called Flying Desperado, who clutches a stolen bag mid-flight. Kurt Schaffenberger's cover art captures the mid-air chase with real kinetic energy, the burst of yellow light behind the two figures giving the scene a breathless, propulsive feel. For a dime in 1951, this Fawcett issue promised readers exactly the kind of action its cover delivers.
