“The Punching Polties”

Master Comics #40 (July 1943) puts Captain Marvel Jr. front and center in a stirring salute, his navy-and-gold costume filling the foreground against a bold, sweeping American flag — a striking wartime image rendered with real conviction by cover artist Mac Raboy. The patriotic composition captures the spirit of 1943 perfectly, and at 68 pages of full color, this Fawcett issue offers plenty of adventure alongside the featured story, "The Punching Polties." A fine snapshot of Golden Age comics at their most earnest and energetic.
