Dynamic Comics #1 (October, 1941). Cover by Charles Sultan.
This issue includes the origins and first appearance of not only cover star Major Victory, but the first Dynamic Man, Hale the Magician, and the Black Cobra.
Major Victory was another of the seemingly unending parade of patriotic superheroes that followed the arrival of MLJ's The Shield the previous year. It seems that no one told the comic book publishers that America had not entered World War ll.
The Major was a nameless soldier who got an oil lantern to the face and blown up by an evil saboteur. Father Patriot, a poor man's combination of Uncle Sam and the wizard Shazam, takes pity on the soldier and brings him back to life. Father Patriot tasks the newly christened Major Victory with protecting America.
Father Patriot even goes so far as to equip the Major with a costume, a wireless shack with a super radio, and an airplane hangar complete with an airplane (which he destroys on his first mission) on a remote mountaintop somewhere.
However, Father Patriot neglected to give the poor guy any superpowers at all; at least initially. In later stories Father Patriot would grant Major Victory "the strength of 1,000 men" when he was in a tough spot (might've been smarter to give him that at the get go), and magically transport him to where he was needed (which was cheaper than replacing an entire airplane).

Having read this issue I can firmly state that this scene does not appear anywhere in the comic book.
Dynamic Man, the cover hero, takes up only 6 of the 52 pages in the comic. In his story he and his sidekick, Dynamic Boy, take on some gangsters making book off of illegal betting on winter games. They do not fight a dinosaur with a rear-ward facing torso. Nor are there any scantily clad women.
There were two Golden Age superheroes named Dynamic Man and, oddly enough, both were androids. The Timely/Marvel version was brought back to comic readers’ attention in the Marvel mini-series The Twelve (2008),. That series told the tale of 12 very obscure Timely Comics superheroes who were captured by the Nazis and placed in suspended animation, only to be awoken in the modern world.
The Dynamic Man seen above was published by Dynamic Publications from 1941 to 1948. He, like many other Golden Age characters, eventually fell into the public domain. He was one of the characters utilized in Dynamite’s Project Superpowers series.
