Fantoman #4

Fantoman #4 (1940) delivers a classic pulp adventure with a twist: Dr. Tin Loy unleashes brutish monsters from his lab to sow chaos, and the Fantom of the Fair answers the call. Written, drawn, inked, and lettered by Paul Gustavson, the story builds tension with a clever twist—these fearsome foes are vulnerable to nothing more than a jet of water. The cover by Lew Glanzman captures the menace with bold, dynamic lines, a hallmark of the era’s genre art.
