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. This Wonderworld Comics #22 (Fox, 1941) Condition: GD+ up for auction in the 2023 September 28 The Fox Comics Showcase Auction #40239 at Heritage Auctions.
