Dixon of the Mounted Splash Page

I mentioned, in the November 24th post, having acquired a number of decades-old publications in digital format. The image below is a treat from one of those acquisitions. 


This is the opening page to the first of five stories in the July 1942 issue of Active Comics. It involves three Nazis being dropped off from a submarine near Nelson River with a mission to destroy a munitions factory and Dixon's relentless chase to prevent them. 

Dixon had front-and-center honours on the cover for this issue, shown below.  


Dixon was a regular feature for the first 20 issues or so. From what I've viewed so far, the art is inconsistent, but it does shine on occasion. I'll be sure to share those occasions as I make my way through the material.
