Here’s another find from the Highland Avenue attic: a copy of Captain Marvel Adventures, dated May, 1949.
The comic book is in fair condition, although the pages are somewhat brittle.
There’s nothing even remotely political in the stories, which I suppose makes sense given the year. The most socially-conscious storyline features one of the characters, Tawky Tawny the Tiger, selling his name to endorse a bunch of junk products, and later realizing he probably should have checked out his business partner, a certain “Mr Twister,” a little more closely.
A scan of the cover and a couple the pages from the comic book appear on the next page. Enjoy!
