More Fun Comics #43

This May 1939 issue of More Fun Comics packs a promised 64 pages of laughs and thrills into one dime-priced package — a remarkable value for Depression-era adventure readers. Creig Flessel's cover art drops a young, red-shirted adventurer right into a swamp teeming with massive crocodiles, as he braces himself with a rifle against the snapping jaws closing in from every direction. It's a vivid, pulse-quickening scene that sets the tone for an anthology bursting with variety, including a story by the creative team of Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster.
