Master Comics #50

Master Comics #50 (May 1944) makes quite an entrance with Al Carreño's warm, welcoming cover, where Captain Marvel Jr. and Nyoka the Jungle Girl grin alongside a sharply dressed newcomer in a fedora — Radar, the International Policeman, being introduced to readers right there on the cover via speech bubbles promising he'll be "fighting on our side." It's a cheerful, ensemble moment that captures the anthology spirit of Fawcett's flagship title, with three distinct personalities sharing the frame in a gesture of genuine camaraderie. Inside, Otto Binder and Carreño bring the action with "The Battle of the Ghosts!" — a fine ten-cent package from one of 1944's most entertaining comics anthologies.
