The Funnies #63

The Funnies #63 from March 1942 puts Captain Midnight front and center in a tense standoff — the aviator-hero, clad in his flight suit and goggles, faces down two armed men in military uniforms while a young woman in green looks on with alarm, a red plane visible just behind them. Dan Gormley's cover art crackles with urgency, the guns-drawn confrontation promising high-stakes adventure under the story title "Death Plays The Ace." Beyond the Captain Midnight feature, this Dell anthology delivers a full roster of characters — Don Winslow, Phantasmo, Mr. D.A., Andy Panda, Philo Vance, Rex King of the Deep, and The Robinsons — making it a genuinely rewarding ten-cent package.
