The Mighty Crusaders #7

From Archie's superhero line comes this October 1966 slugfest, spotlighting Steel Sterling — Man of Steel — in a brawl that fills every inch of the cover. Paul Reinman's artwork captures a chaotic melee as Sterling and his Crusader teammates trade blows — complete with bold "POW!," "CLUNK!," "ZIP!," and "SOK!" sound effects — against a winged, monstrous creature and other fearsome foes, with a green scaly villain lurking at the bottom of the pile. With Jerry Siegel behind the story and the cover promising a tale called "The Monster-Master," this issue delivers the kind of energetic, anything-goes superhero action that made the mid-1960s such a fun era for the genre.
