Startling Comics 20 features a classic Standard/Better/Nedor WWII-era cover by Jack Binder and a Pyroman story by Ken Battefield to match. Pyroman sponsored
\nWhile not among the early wave of the Standard\/Better\/Nedor superheroes, the electrically-charged superhero Pyroman made his debut in Startling Comics #18 and quickly took over Captain Future's share of the title's covers, alternating with Fighting Yank. Jack Binder's Startling Comics #20 cover, featuring Pyroman taking on a Nazi snake cult, is one of his best covers of the run.
The name 'Pyroman' and the usage of the slogan 'America's Blazing Battler' is something of a curiosity here, as both terms seem to imply fire-based powers. Interestingly, the villain in his debut saga was able to start fires remotely via a 'super-sonic transmitter.'\nThe Oracle is the alter ego of Bob Paxton, an engineer and technician with the Army Air Force.
