In "The City Sleeps," a moment of innocent curiosity turns perilous when a small child accidentally sets a glider loose, sending it hurtling toward the sky—only Captain Tootsie’s swift strength and reflexes can prevent disaster. Penciled by C. C. Beck and inked by Pete Costanza, this 1947 adventure captures the era’s classic heroism with crisp, dynamic action. The cover, by Bud Thompson, perfectly frames the scene’s tension.
