Cover by Dan Barry. Stories and art by Dan Barry, Otto Binder and Leonard Frank. The comics incarnation of a beloved radio hero, aviator "Red" Albright uses his inventions, including an early wingsuit, to fight evil as Captain Midnight. Villainous Dr. Gravity has the ability to cause whole cities to be swallowed by the Earth, and a ridiculous claim that he is the rightful owner of the Louisiana Purchase, in a story with art (and cover) by future Flash Gordon artist Dan Barry. Johnny Blair attempts a perilous jungle landing while helping Jane search for her missing brother. The trial of Jagga the Space Raider is complicated when he claims that, as an alien, Earth's laws do not apply to him. Plus a vintage Tootsie Roll ad, Captain Tootsie: The Radar Rescue, with art by Shazam co-creator CC Beck. And a plethora of other comics-format ads, including one featuring detective Sam Spade and another for the Mary Marvel clothing line (in corduroy this time). The Menace of Mammoth Caves; Your Invention Page; Dippy Detours; Red Skye: Assignment: Flood; Whipper-Snappers; Johnny Blair in the Air; Dizzy Take-Offs; Pilot Pete; The Last Rites of Jagga! 32 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
