The Flame #7
The main story features The Flame battling Nazi operatives aboard a ship, protecting passengers from enemy agents while thwarting a plot involving pirate activity. A secondary story, "The Yank and the Rebel," depicts two characters fighting together for American democracy during a crisis at what appears to be a political gathering, where The Flame uses his flame powers to neutralize threats and expose a traitor in their midst. The issue also includes "Revolt of the Minerals," a science fiction tale by Ludwig Polanowski, in which a Professor and his assistants Jean and Larry confront a materialized Metal Man composed of minerals who possesses intelligence and destructive powers, forcing them to use a disintegrator machine against the sentient threat.
