Four Color #4
In this 1942 Four Color #4, written and drawn by Zack Mosley with art by Boody Rogers and lettering by Rogers, Jack—a pilot with a past—refuses to aid the sinister Baron Bloodsoe in smuggling munitions. When the Baron tries to eliminate him by pushing him from a plane without a parachute, Jack instead drags his henchman Slitz down with him, surviving the fall and returning to the States. Now working for the border patrol, Jack uncovers a far greater threat: the Baron’s plan to hijack a $200,000 stratosphere airliner to bring aliens into the U.S. The cover by Boody Rogers captures the high-stakes tension of this wartime adventure.
