Space Hero Saturdays CAPTAIN MIDNIGHT "Flying Saucers of Death!"

Though He Doesn't Go into Outer Space in This Post...

...the "Sentinel of the Spaceways" does take on flying saucers like The Shadow, Buck Rogers. and Spurs Jackson before him!

Trivia: The insignia shown in the final panel are from the US Army Air Corps, the predecessor to the US Air Force....which was formed in September, 1947.

But, though the cover date is 1948, the story was written and illustrated around summer 1947...before the official creation of the Air Force!

Dr Osmosis had appeared once before, in Fawcett's Captain Midnight #52 (1947).
Intended to be an ongoing genius criminal arch-enemy to Cap, his career was derailed by the introduction of colorful alien enemies to battle Midnight.
Dr Osmosis would appear twice more, then disappear into the ether!

...and yes, it was a little longer than we intended between posts.

Sorry about that.

Luckily, the author can fill you in on what you may have forgotten...

Now, let's continue...

With this conclusion of the "Moon Expedition" two-parter from Fawcett's Captain Midnight #50 (1947), Captain Midnight became a full-fledged Space Hero, with an off-Earth adventure (usually cover-featured) in almost every issue until the end of his Golden Age run.
There were still occasional down-to-earth criminals and saboteurs, but extraterrestrials became the primary foes of the Sovereign of the Skies!
