The Flame and Black Lion in Wonderworld Comics #22, up for Auction
Wonderworld Comics #22 features the Flame, Black Lion and much more in a classic WWII-era issue from Fox Feature Syndicate.
Wonderworld Comics #22, published. in 1941, is a classic superhero pose cover. Our hero The Flame punching out the bad guy to save the day. I bet he defuses that bomb back there by his foot as well. Speaking of classic covers, why can't we get more bright and vibrant covers like this anymore? Even heroes with lighter color costumes lately seem washed out and set on a darker background, or in the rain, or just depressing. Give me these big, bombastic, bright covers any day of the week.
