Fawcett 〉Captain Midnight
Fawcett published Captain Midnight from Sept. 1942 to Sept 1948. Otto Binder was one of the writers on the comic book. The Fawcett character bore little resemblance to the radio character, and only the character Ichabod Mudd appeared regularly in the comic as the sidekick Sgt. Twilight.
Captain Midnight in the comic wore a skintight scarlet suit and used an array of gizmos like Doctor Mid-Nite which released clouds of blinding darkness, the infra-red “Doom-Beam Torch” which he used to burn his emblem into walls and unlucky villains, and a “Gliderchute” (similar to the flying Wingsuit) attached to the sides of his costume.
In his Captain Albright secret identity he was a genius-level inventor like Edison. He had a secret laboratory in the desert.
The Fawcett Captain Midnight series was reprinted in England by L. Miller & Son in 40 issues in 1950–1953.
