Top Notch Comics #13

The Black Hood takes center stage on this March 1941 cover, rendered by Al Camy, as the yellow-and-blue-clad hero hoists a villain overhead on what appears to be a ship's deck, surrounded by menacing green creatures closing in from multiple angles. A young figure in red, white, and blue fights off one of the monsters nearby, while a caped hero surfs the water in the background — and the corner blurb reminds readers that Wizard Roy the Super-Boy is also along for the action. Top-Notch Comics #13 packs its cover with the kind of pulpy, kinetic energy that made 1941 one of the golden years for superhero anthologies.
