Captain Magnet

Captain Magnet, a two-issue series from Cartoon Art that ran in 1947–1948, is a brief but charming artifact of the postwar comic boom. The title character, a costumed hero with magnetic powers, represented the era's fascination with science-infused superheroes. Though its run was short, the series is remembered today for its distinctive, period-specific art and its place in the crowded landscape of late-1940s adventure comics.
