Cops Shooting at Fleeing Suspects<\/b>:<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

The NYPD (or the cops in some other town. but probably the NYPD) attempt to murder the Green Mask and Domino the Miracle Boy because they were wearing masks near a crime and had the audacity to run away. (Green Mask v1 003, 1940)<\/p>\n

Vexing Conundrum<\/b>:<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

These panels are from a strip called Flyin’ Jenny<\/i>, the details of which are not important, save for the fact that a character has cheated in an air race and is now travelling incognito only to be given away by her signature piece of jewelry: a little tag with her name on it worn on a chain or string around her thigh. But… is this a thing? Did anyone wear these c. 1940 or is it a weird affectation made up for the strip? It seems to be impossible to hunt up online! (Reg’lar Fellers Heroic Comics 003, 1940)<\/p>\n

Golden Age Policing<\/b>:<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

Just had to pull these panels as it’s the closest I’ve seen to cops actually torturing someone on-panel in a comic (usually it’s just heavily implied to be good and just and a great idea). (Hyper Mystery Comics 001 1940)<\/p>\n

Honours<\/b>:<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

Wambi the Jungle Boy is awarded a silver sword for helping to prevent a rebellion\/ helping to perpetuate colonial rule in Africa. (Jungle Comics 001, 1940)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
