Silver Streak Comics #3

This March 1940 anthology from Lev Gleason bursts with the promise of "Action! Mystery! Adventure!" — and Jack Binder's cover delivers on every count. A muscular hero in a yellow tank top trains a ray gun on a grotesque, spiky-haired villain below him, while a startled woman in a dark costume recoils from the struggle between them. With features spotlighting Ace Powers, Dickie Dean, Bill Wayne, Lance Hale, and the title hero Silver Streak himself, this "New Number" is a wonderfully packed slice of Golden Age excitement.
