“The Three Sandmen”

In "The Three Sandmen," a 1939 Adventure Comics issue, Wes teams up with two former comrades to investigate a string of mysterious killings targeting their old unit—each death linked to a shadowy figure named Teeter Sneed, who now threatens more lives. Written, drawn, and inked by Larry Dean, this early mystery blends wartime camaraderie with creeping dread, while Creig Flessel’s striking cover captures the story’s tense, noir-tinged atmosphere.
