Men of Daring

A single 1933 issue from Cupples & Leon, Men of Daring is a one-shot anthology that celebrates real-life heroes of adventure and industry. Illustrated by the prolific Stookie Allen, the comic profiles figures such as explorers, inventors, and pilots in a series of dramatic, educational vignettes. While brief, it stands as an early example of the nonfiction adventure comic, offering a snapshot of Depression-era popular history through the lens of pulp heroism.
