CAPTAIN FUTURE and the Problem of the Purple Plague!

Today we have the first appearance and secret origin of Captain Future!!

Scientist Andrew Bryant discovered that the crossing gamma and infrared rays would grant him superpowers -- so naturally he decided to become a superhero and battle crime!!

Captain Future appeared in STARTLING COMICS #1-40 (June 1940-July 1946) and AMERICA'S BEST COMICS #1-3 (Feb-Nov 1942), 5 (April 1943), and 22 (June 1947).
