    Stories and art by Leonard Frank and others. The comics incarnation of a beloved radio hero, aviator "Red" Albright uses his inventions, including an early wingsuit, to fight evil as Captain Midnight. Midnight attempts to secure the airspace over Asia in the closing days of WWII. Johnny Blair and two other Americans have been imprisoned by Axis forces, in one of several tales listed as "Official War Archives Story." (Most likely inventory remaining from the WWII era.) In a Frankenstein-like scenario, Sgt. Twilight creates a robot assistant, Egad, but then is threatened because it's much smarter than him. Plus a vintage ad for "Twinkilite" glow-in-the-dark paint.
