The comics incarnation of a beloved radio hero, aviator "Red" Albright uses his inventions, including an early wingsuit, to fight evil as Captain Midnight.

Johnny Blair attempts a perilous jungle landing while helping Jane search for her missing brother. The trial of Jagga the Space Raider is complicated when he claims that, as an alien, Earth's laws do not apply to him.
