Master Comics #71

Fawcett's long-running anthology roars into August 1946 with a cover by Bud Thompson that puts the action high above a city skyline: "The World's Most Fearless Boy" — cape streaming, sword slashing — squares off against a menacing figure clad in a bulky yellow suit and an imposing blue metal mask, flames erupting across the masthead above them. The tagline promises a confrontation with "The Man in the Metal Mask," a villain whose unsettling goggled visage makes for one of the more striking opponents this young hero has faced on a cover. Otto Binder scripts the interior adventure, and with a dime on the counter you got all of this plus Radar and the rest of the Master Comics lineup.
