Startling Comics #1 (16)

In this 1942 issue of Startling Comics, a young hero named Buzz takes a stand in the city's underbelly when he intervenes to stop thugs robbing street kids. His courage leads him straight into a dangerous trap, where he confronts the menacing Black Satan, a criminal mastermind with plans to terrorize America—starting with kidnapping Tommy, a boy whose genius inventions make him a prime target. With bold art by Maurice Gutwirth and a striking cover by Jack Binder, this early superhero tale blends street-level action with a shadowy, high-stakes threat.
