Silver Streak Comics #18

Silver Streak Comics #18 from February 1942 brings Leslie Charteris's The Saint to the comic page in a cover by Bernard Klein that crackles with wartime energy — a dapper, blue-suited Saint delivers a decisive blow to an enemy soldier amid a battlefield strewn with explosions, barbed wire, and parachuting figures overhead. The tagline promises a story written especially for Silver Streak by Charteris himself, and the cover's breathless promise that this is "for the first time in any comic magazine" makes this a genuinely exciting package for any Golden Age enthusiast. Don Rico handles the interior on "The Bacteria Bomb Blitz," and with action this charged on the outside, the pages within look equally promising.
