Wednesday Worlds of Wonder LOST WORLD "Coney Carousel Combat"

 Still in New York City...

...Hunt Bowman and Lyssa encounter VoltaMen in, of all places, the legendary Coney Island!
This never-reprinted tale from Fiction House's Planet Comics #35 (1945) shows some of the famous rides at the time in Coney Island, including the Parachute Jump, Cyclone roller coaster, the Wonder Wheel ferris wheel, and the B&B Carousell (yes that's how it's spelled)!
All four still stand, having been restored/rebuilt and recently-granted landmark status.
All but the Parachute Jump are still functional.
No doubt artist Lily Renee rode them, since she lived in Manhattan and studied at both the Art Students League and the Cartoonists and Illustrators School (now known as the School of Visual Arts) and was only a subway ride away...
