MAIN STORY
The series premiered in 1942. Stopped in 1948 after 67 issues.

The starring character is the former World War I army pilot Jim 'Red' Albright, who later was assigned several jobs by the military to fight sabotage and espionage. Albright's alias, Captain Midnight, was given to him by his commander who had sent him on a high-risk mission from which he surprisingly returned - at the stroke of midnight.
