Captain Future makes his debut and adorns the cover on this solid 6.5 copy.
The Cap's origin was interesting as scientist Andrew Bryant discovered that bathing himself in a combination of gamma and infrared rays would grant him superpowers; he then used these powers to fight crime. His powers include super-strength, flight, and the ability to hurl bolts of energy from his hands. Note that gamma rays were used a long time before the Hulk and the FF.
The fun part with the Cap is that blows to the head can render him unconscious, and he must frequently use his radiation machine to recharge his powers. For someone super-strong this was a corny weakness - makes you see how brilliant Kryptonite was.

A wonderful 8.5 copy of this early Startling. Captain Future shows off his powers on this Kin Platt cover. This book is really stunning - bright colors and structurally as sound as a pedigree copy.

The Man of Tomorrow adorns the solid copy of a single digit Startling. Unfortunately for the good Captain, a star was going to be introduced in the next issue by the name of Fighting Yank and Captain Future's cover run came to end an abrupt end. Great PQ.

A very early WWII cover depicting Nazis. Not sure about Fighting Yank's heroic pose but it works for him. Very nice page quality on this early issue.
