    Stories and art by Charles Voight, Bruce Elliott, Jerry Schiano, August Froehlich, and Bernard Baily. Despite the #4 in the indicia, the cover and contents are identical to Red Band Comics (1945) #3. Masked heroes, soldiers, and adventurers in this WWII-era anthology. Blamed for a murder he didn't commit, a WWII vet trapped in a wax museum gains magical powers and becomes Captain Wizard. Two-fisted physician Dr. Mercy realizes that a woman's supposed doctor is just gaslighting her to drive her mad. In the strangest story yet, DIY interplanetary explorer Hugh Mann lands on the lost planet Brutus, where he runs afoul of the planet's strange justice system. But his battle against a space villain earns him the name Impossible Man (no relation to the Marvel character). Captain Wizard; Teeny McSweeny; Dr. Mercy: The Bewitched Heiress!; King OLeary: Murder above the City; Whispered Fate; Race Wilkins: Ride That Nightmare; Impossible Man. Final issue of the series. 52 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
