I love it when I learn about things from the Swing Era that are exactly what you would imagine them to be. If someone told me about classic comic stories with names like
The Black Condor,
The Red Torpedo,
Space Legion,
Madam Fatal (actually a male hero who disguises himself as an old lady [Mrs. Doubtfire?]), and
Alias the Spider; I would reasonably assume they were made up to sound like classic comic books. As revealed by
Golden Age Comic Book Stories, they were real. This posting features all of them in a December 1940 issue of . . . (wait for it) . .
. Crack Comics.
