Although I have seen Bulletman comics before, I am not sure I ever posted one. This particular one from 1941, posted on Pappy's Golden Age Comics Blogzine, I found interesting for two reasons. First, as Pappy noted, the Lois Lane-like love interest for our hero has no clue that mild mannered police scientist Jim Barr is actually invincible hero Bulletman, even though he makes no effort to disguise his face. Secondly, the writer of this story must have been a little inspired by Jules Verne's 1904 novel Master of the World, in which a brilliant inventor pilots a remarkable vehicle, the Terror, that can function as an automobile, speedboat, submarine and aircraft. The Triple Threat vehicle in this comic is a dead ringer for the Terror.
