True Comics #40

1944-11-01 · 51 pages

True Comics #40 is an anthology featuring multiple factual stories. One story covers Sidney Franklin, an American bullfighter who became popular in Mexican arenas for six years before traveling to Spain in 1929, where he faced hostile crowds as the first American torero permitted to fight there, ultimately winning over audiences with his skill despite a near-fatal encounter with a second bull. Another story, titled "Lesson Learned," depicts Major Paul Johnson, a reformed buzzer pilot in the AAF who, in 1942 while stationed at a flight school in Ypsilanti, Michigan, requested permission to fly his bomber home to visit before deployment but was denied, teaching him a lesson about following military protocol. Additional features advertised include stories about railroads, a bullfighter from Brooklyn, a superfortress, and frontier life.
