Boy Commandos #23

Fifty-two pages of undersea adventure await in this 1947 DC gem, as the Boy Commandos plunge into Lost Atlantis for a story billed right on the cover as "The Sunken World." Jack Kirby's cover art — credited for both pencils and inks — drops the green-suited young commandos into a breathtaking submerged cityscape, where they charge atop snarling sea creatures beneath a glowing deep-ocean sky. It's a wonderfully imaginative snapshot of mid-century comics storytelling, all for ten cents.
