Thrilling Comics #19

This anthology issue features a complete Doc Strange action adventure in which a man uses a new power to assume a new identity as a preoccupied professor of astronomy, then adopts the costumed identity of the Crusader to pledge his services to fight for democracy and champion the rights of the weak and oppressed. The story involves a kidnapping, a chase, and a case of mistaken identity when authorities pursue the wrong suspect. Additionally, the issue includes a baseball-themed story in which a coach and players discuss strategy, with plot complications involving a sabotaged game and a mysterious "plug-ugly" character named Dan who interferes with play.
