Captain Marvel Adventures #23
In "The Lie Detector," Captain Marvel races after Ibac across North Africa, tracking the thief who's stolen the magic black pearls. With the villain posing as a soldier to infiltrate an American army base, the hero must uncover the truth before the deception spreads. Written by Otto Binder and illustrated by C. C. Beck, this 1943 adventure features dynamic art and a pulse-pounding chase, with Marc Swayze's cover capturing the tension in bold, striking detail.
