Captain Aero Comics #3 [17]
In "The Killers in Kunai," Joan finds herself drawn into a deadly mystery after a frantic stranger warns her of an imminent assassination—just as she’s visiting a museum. When she dons her Miss Victory identity to investigate, she’s quickly subdued, only to awaken with a cryptic clue: a chemical formula that’s now her only lead in a race against a dangerous Dr. Hoshema. Penciled and inked by Nina Albright, this 1944 thriller blends espionage and science with a pulse-pounding mystery, while the cover by L. B. Cole captures the tension in a striking, period-accurate style.
