Captain's Library: Christmas Comics: CAPTAIN MIDNIGHT "Sergeant Twilight Writhes Again"

Captain Midnight enjoys celebrating the holidays, whether it's Thanksgiving or Christmas...
...in one of the last comic book stories based on the radio show's format.
The comic book began to diverge from the radio show about the time this never-reprinted story, illustrated by Jack Binder, appeared in Fawcett's Captain Midnight #4 (1943).
Ichabod Mudd, who was Midnight's primary aide in all his media incarnations was already being altered with the addition of the comic-relief "Sgt Twilight" identity.
Cap himself would soon abandon the modified military flight suit seen in this story and adopt a skintight ensemble with built-in glider wings.
(It had the same color scheme, so many thought the new ensemble was just the old outfit with wings attached.)

Merry Christmas
and
Happy New Year!

Captain's Holiday Library: HOT WHEELS "Humbug Run"

In the Economical Spirit of ReGifting...
Art by Neal Adams & Dick Giordano
...here's a never-reprinted Yuletide tale from over a half-century ago that we originally-presented over a decade ago, so it's likely most of the blog's current readers have never seen it!
The cover story for DC's Hot Wheels #6 (1971) was written by Len Wein, with art by Neal Adams and Dick Giordano, following Alex Toth's character designs from the 1969-1971 animated series based on the toy line.
Toth also illustrated most of the stories in the comic series!
