“The Matinee Murder”

In "The Matinee Murder," the Sky Pirate, Red, and Gila journey to Mars in search of gold, encountering the native Ogg and Ozo along the way—only to face deadly Cat-Men in their path. A tightly drawn adventure from William Ward, who handles every aspect of the interior art and writing, this 1940 issue delivers a classic pulp-style escapade with a touch of Martian mystery. The cover by John Woods captures the action with bold, dynamic flair.
