"The Devil's Feud"

Another action packed cover to a middling 1942 adventure.  Again the "Dark" Avenger fights crime in the bright light of what appears to be high noon.  Rather than being a mysterious menace to gangdom, he appears to be a super hero (a la Batman).  Did the comics start to influence the cover art of our beloved magazine?  Maybe.  Still, I miss the sense that a vigilante in black running around in the dark made.
