Feature Comics #39

In "The Puritan Village," a 1940 issue of Feature Comics, writer and artist Harry Campbell crafts a story where Blackburn, inspired by a boy’s real-life imitation of a comic book hero named Colossal Guy, takes up a costumed identity to combat the so-called "Un-American Band." With bold visuals and a grounded, period-specific tone, the tale explores the line between heroism and vigilantism, all rendered in the distinctive style of Harry Campbell, whose work defines the issue’s interior art. The cover, by John Devlin, captures the era’s dramatic flair with a striking image of Blackburn in his new guise.
