The Spirit from September 22, 1940. Art by Will Eisner and letters by Sam Rosen.
The cover shows that Spirit having just been caught under a spotlight. He is looking up at the light and behind him is his logo in large letters. Underneath is says "The well known crime fighter known to the world as The Spirit, is in reality Denny Colt, long believed dead. From his big laboratory in Wildwood Cemetery, he secretly aids society in its war against the forces of evil......only Police Commisioner Dolan knows the Spirit's true identity." In the bottom right corner, there is panel showing the Spirit climbing over a wall just in time to witness a gang killing as a car drives by a man on the street and he is about to be gunned down.

Marvel, 1940

Cover by Alex Schomburg, featuring (here) The Fiery Mask.

Note: many of the features in these issues were produced by outside shops, and only make one or two appearances. Hence, these five issues collectively contain a LOT of features, by a lot of creators.
