In "The Rainbow Sky-Writer," Captain Midnight and his sidekick Icky journey to Neptune after their clash with the villain Jagga, where they rescue a stranded child from an encroaching glacier. With the help of a hidden community of Netunians, they plan a daring mission to halt the glacier's advance using atomic bombs—before it triggers a planet-wide ice age. Leonard Frank handles both the interior art and the cover, bringing the interplanetary adventure to life with his distinctive style in this 1948 Fawcett classic.

Captain Midnight [Captain Jim "Red" Albright]

Captain Albright puts his latest invention—a revolutionary rainbow sky-writing device—into the capable hands of Bill Reed, but when Reed's success threatens an unscrupulous advertising rival's business, the sabotage begins: a hangar fire, a mysterious warning, and a brutal aerial ambush. Captain Midnight must use every trick in his arsenal to protect Reed's dream and expose the culprit before the next attack strikes from the sky.

Boy Scout Bob volunteers to watch a neighbor's baby for the day, confident his experience caring for puppies has prepared him—but when the parents return, his unconventional babysitting methods raise some eyebrows. This half-page humor story offers a lighthearted look at how different (and amusing) a young scout's priorities can be.
