Owner's Description
I love the American Crusader covers. Maybe because he's somewhat of an obscure character from the GA. He was introduced in the previous issue and saw some revivals in more recent times.
His story (paraphrased from Wikipedia) - His secret identity is Professor Archibald (Archie) Masters, an astronomy professor at an unnamed university in the Eastern United States. He had a his mousy alter-ego similar to that of Superman's Clark Kent identity. He accidentally got caught in a room with a device called an atom smasher, and, inevitably, the experiment went awry. Instead of killing him, the accident blasted him with radiation, which endowed him with various superhuman abilities. He used these powers to fight crime as the American Crusader. Prof. Masters had a secretary named Jane Peters. The Crusader had a teen sidekick named Mickey Martin.
A cool 6.5 copy with ow-white pages.
