classic Fred Ray Japanese WWII cover; Baily art (5/42)
Action Comics #48 features a wildly patriotic cover by Fred Ray, with a soaring Superman once again knocking the Axis forces right out of the sky. It's a classic cover that also pretty much covers all of the WWII action in the book. The interior pages have Congo Bill taking on Japanese forces. Superman, however, gets caught up in a crooked scheme by car dealers which has drivers fatally crashing all over Metropolis. "The Adventure of the Merchant of Murder" mostly has Clark Kent and Lois Lane doing the sleuthing, but Superman fortunately keeps showing up whenever things get deadly. There's also the Vigilante going up against car thieves, It's left to the Three Aces to really go to war in "The Adventure of the Secret Submarine" — while Mr. America goes up against female crime lord Queen Bee and her musical cohort in "The Pied Piper of Doom," and Zatara stops a musician from making audiences suicidal in "The Case of the Maddening Music."
