Star Spangled Comics #46

Against a dramatic full moon, the Guardian guns a red motorcycle through the night while the Newsboy Legion clings on beside him — bearing down on a pair of menacing figures in a canoe who look anything but pleased to see them coming. This July 1945 DC gem, cover by Gil Kane, crackles with the kind of kinetic energy that made Star Spangled Comics a reliable thrill every month. Inside, Arturo Cazeneuve brings "Clothes Make the Criminal!" to life, promising another slam-bang adventure from one of the era's most entertaining hero-and-kids teams.
