Until my recent attempt to find peril scenes in the golden age Miss Victory series, I wasn't aware of how scarce such scenes would be. After Bill Black's Americomics revival of her adventures in the 80's I thought he revived her because he was impressed with her golden age perils. How wrong I was. Story after story in her 20 issue Capt. Aero run was totally deplete of any thing that could stimulate our juices. Finally she had an adventure in issue 17 in which she was knocked down, then later on KO'd and tied up. Finally a fairly good story after nearly 15 issues of next to nothing. In this story, WW II is in full swing, and some Japanese scientists are trying to make a bomb and blow up some strategic USA buildings. She finds them out, but gets knocked out. In the end she manages, while tied up, to cause an accident in their laboratory which causes an explosion killing all but herself, naturally, so she can fly again in the next issue. Could be better, but not all that bad either. Enjoy.
