Combat Casey #6
In "Man Trap," Combat Casey and his companion Penny find themselves captured and interrogated by an enemy force. When Penny accurately predicts a solar eclipse, he uses the moment of darkness to convince their captors he possesses supernatural powers—giving both of them a chance to escape. The story unfolds with tense suspense, grounded in real-world science and clever misdirection, all rendered in bold, dynamic art by Robert Q. Sale. The dramatic cover, by Joe Maneely, captures the moment of crisis with striking intensity.
