Minute Man #3

This Spring 1942 Fawcett publication delivers 64 pages of "The One Man Army" at his action-packed best, as Minute Man — clad in his stars-and-stripes costume — lands a thunderous punch on a snarling, wild-haired villain while a terrified accomplice scrambles to escape behind him. Adding an air of menace, a scroll on the cover bears a taunting verse signed by "The Black Poet," teasing readers to turn to page 31 for answers. With the story "The Murder Music" waiting inside, this is a vivid snapshot of wartime superhero comics at full stride.
