Triumph after a stint in the service, and his art was more polished than ever. This is a well-drawn and well-written character who ran in \u003cem\u003eCrack \u003c\/em\u003efor many years during the Golden Age.\n\nIn 1919, identical twin brothers Michael and Lance Gallant were born in New York City — both possessed T-shaped birthmarks on their left wrists. The boys were very close growing up. During the Second World War, Michael enlisted in the Air Force as a pilot. Unfortunately, on their 23rd birthday, Michael died when his hanger exploded and his brother, Lance, who saw the tragedy, grabbed Michael from the flames, only to have him die in his arms. Lance wanted vengeance! The Fates of Greek mythology witnessed Michael's death and decided to turn Lance into their champion.\n\nSoon after, Lance is visited by Michael's ghost, who told his brother they were still linked and if he touched his birthmark, the brothers would merge and gain superpowers — including superhuman strength, endurance, flight, invulnerability, and invisibility. So, Lance decides to call himself Captain Triumph and become a crime-fighter!\n\nAnd next volume it gets even better, with Crandall doing all or nearly all the stories, and most of the covers! This time around we have the excellent Al Bryant doing the covers; a good lesser-known artist, but not quite up to Crandall!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"vendor-unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59643826176286,"sku":"CAPTT02H","price":52.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/0684\/7006\/files\/captt02h-captain-triumph-vol-2-hc-book.jpg?v=1784519601","url":"https:\/\/shop.budsartbooks.com\/products\/captain-triumph-volume-2-hardcover","provider":"Bud's Art Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
