Captain Midnight #60
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Flying Saucers of Death!", Captain Albright races to uncover the truth behind bizarre flying saucer sightings—especially the massive, deadly ones terrorizing California. With the skies filled with mystery and a recent explosion leaving casualties in its wake, the hero tracks the bizarre craft to a shocking source: radio-controlled, radioactive discs engineered by the sinister Dr. Osmosis. Art by Leonard Frank brings the 1948 suspense to life, while Charlie Tomsey's cover captures the era's thrilling sci-fi flair.
Pilot Pete reunites with an old friend who’s now working at the municipal airport, where he helps the master engine mechanic by listening for engine issues. The story humorously highlights the surprisingly important role of a trained ear in aviation, all while keeping the focus on their lighthearted catch-up.
In a humorous interlude within the larger adventure, Captain Midnight and his assistant Icky encounter a series of exaggerated, comically mischievous characters in San Fernando, including a miserly bank president and a boastful junk man’s son, all while trading zany banter. The story plays on absurd stereotypes and exaggerated personalities, with no real plot development beyond the comedic interactions.
