Silver Streak (nn on cover)
GCD lists this as #22 published February (on cover) of 1946.
http://www.comics.org/issue/233758/
If true that means an almost four year gap between this and the previous #21 issue.
Has a very nice Dick Briefer (Frankenstein fame) cover.

Comment: After disappearing for two whole issues (#20 and 21) from his own comic book, the Silver Streak returns in issue 22 with a vengeance, in 4 stories (38 pages), albeit in the form of reprints of his first four costumed adventures (from issues 4-7) by "Ralph Johns" (the great Jack Cole). Ignoring the crude prototype Silver Streak story from issue #3, (of which Cole's story in issue #4 is a direct continuation) the reprints here update the purple-and-green coloring scheme used in the original stories to SS's subsequent red-and-yellow color scheme. In summary: Of the 23 issues of Silver Streak Comics, the Silver Streak appears only in 19 of them (and one of those, this issue, is all-reprint). He's missing completely from issues #1, 2, 20, and 21, and only appears on the covers of #5, 9, 10, 12 (in a tiny inset image), 16, 17 (another tiny figure), 22 and 23. In issues 18 and 19 he had added a cape and a domino mask to his costume, as well as his hair color changing to black, but in issue 23 which follows this, the final new SS story ignores those changes (as well as his kid sidekick Mercury) and follows on from the stories reprinted in this issue, effectively "an untold tale". Still, if you actually expected a comic book titled SILVER STREAK COMICS to *star* a character named the Silver Streak, this is the one issue to have, with Jack Cole's four stories reprinted in a single issue. The poor Streak just couldn't get a break. At first overshadowed by The Claw, then Daredevil, then Captain Battle, and finally Leslie Charteris' The Saint, who pushed him out of his own book. With this issue, #22, he gets a little payback.
