Star Spangled Comics #59

From the tail end of comics' Golden Age comes this August 1946 DC offering, with cover pencils by Jack Kirby capturing the Guardian in full athletic stride, leaping into a chaotic scene where gun-toting thugs clash with the Newsboy Legion around a mysterious "Answers, Inc." box. The gang's youthful energy and the masked hero's dynamic pose make for a cover that crackles with urgency, promising the action-packed adventure the issue itself announces right on the cover. A fine slice of postwar superhero comics from one of the medium's most inventive pencilers.
