MONSTER SOCIETY OF EVIL "Chapter XII: the Bombardment of Earth"

Buckle up, fans!
This one is spectacular!
The Captain Marvel Code-Finder was a mail-in premium that would enable you to understand the cryptic messages (like this one) in stories!

Without it, you'd be as helpless as an Axis spy to figure out what the message was!
Now that was an EPIC chapter, almost impossible for even the big-budget movies of the time to duplicate convincingly!
In terms of scale, the closest movie would've been Shape of Things to Come...

...but comics were considered lowbrow, so, it would've been treated more like Flash Gordon or Buck Rogers...

With Dr Smashi's demise, the use of offensive racial stereotypes in the serial comes to a temporary end, so...

MONSTER SOCIETY OF EVIL "Chapter XI: the Firing of Great Big Bertha"

x
"I've got to stop that second one somehow!"
What about the first, Russia-bound, one?
You'll note Dr Smashi's teeth, which were originally fang-like are now the usual sterotypical "Japanese" buck teeth.

MONSTER SOCIETY OF EVIL "Chapter X: the Booby Traps of Mr Mind!"

...one of the highlights of this chapter is seeing how well the Marines operate without Captain Marvel's aid!

MONSTER SOCIETY OF EVIL "Chapter IX: the Webs of Destruction!"

...obvious question: Considering the whole Great Wall had just been moving, why were kids climbing up on it?
Mr Mind doesn't know his arachnids or aircraft!
His "Flying Mechanical Spider" has six legs...like a fly!
And it's described as a "misshapen airplane, but with that rotor above the fusilage, it's really an autogyro!
The Saga Continues...
FRIDAY!
Note that, as of this story, the page count drops from 12 to 8.
There's still lots of action, but now it's moving at a faster pace!

MONSTER SOCIETY OF EVIL "Chapter VIII: Battle at the China Wall!"

Please note that the lemon-yellow Asian officer on the cover...
...is Chinese...and a good guy!
But inside, he (and the Japanese) are Caucasian-skin colored!
Aren't you lucky you don't have to wait a whole month to find out what happens?
AFAIK, it's the only time Mr Mind has ever taken a personal...er...hand in attempting to kill Billy/Captain Marvel!
(He usually uses allies or weapons/devices!)
I wonder if the reason the editors made the Chinese officer on the cover bright yellow instead of 25% yellow 25% magenta "Caucasian" color everybody (incuding the sharp-toothed Japanese trio) is colored is because, without it, the officer didn't appear "Asian" enough to a 1940s casual newsstand browser?
