Cat-Man Comics #5 (15)
In "Dr. Gaunt," the Phantom Falcon meets a heroic end in 1942, sacrificing himself to destroy a Japanese stronghold housing over two hundred enemy soldiers—an act echoing the cinematic fate of the protagonist in A Guy Named Joe. The story, illustrated by Sol Brodsky, captures the wartime drama with stark, expressive art, while the cover by Charles Quinlan Sr. sets a dramatic tone for the issue’s intense final chapter.
