Real Fact Comics #3

DC's 1946 anthology series delivers another jam-packed issue promising "True Stories from the Drama of Life," with Dick Sprang's cover showcasing a vivid central portrait of H.G. Wells at a typewriter, surrounded by rockets and planets as "Mr. Future — The Man Who Saw Tomorrow Before It Happened." Flanking vignettes tease the saga of Civil War figure Col. Elmer E. Ellsworth, the daring world of Hollywood stunt performers, veterans returning from battle, and the remarkable Lon Chaney depicted in dramatic makeup. With scripts from Jack Schiff, Mort Weisinger, and Bernie Breslauer, this ten-cent issue captures the era's genuine enthusiasm for real-world adventure and human achievement.
