The Funnies #62

From the cockpit of a heavily armed aircraft, Captain Midnight peers out with steely determination, his aviator's helmet, goggles, and green scarf marking him as a man built for the skies — and the twin machine guns mounted on the nose of his plane make clear he means business. The "Secret Squadron" emblem on the fuselage adds a satisfying sense of wartime espionage atmosphere to this December 1941 Dell anthology. Beyond the Captain Midnight feature, the cover promises a packed lineup including Phantasmo, Andy Panda, Rex King of the Deep, Philo Vance, and Mr. District Attorney — terrific variety for a dime, with cover art by Dan Gormley.
