Squads Riot

Fawcett’s Squads Riot ran for seven issues starting in 1941, a wartime anthology series that packed each issue with a rotating cast of crime-fighting teams. While the title suggests a singular unit, the book showcased multiple short features, each following a different squad of heroes or adventurers through pulpy, action-driven stories. Though brief, the series is a snapshot of the early 1940s comic landscape—energetic, patriotic, and packed with the kind of ensemble heroics that Fawcett specialized in before the industry’s post-war shift.
