Capt. Storm #13

The deck of a Japanese warship becomes a battlefield on this June 1966 cover, as Capt. Storm — PT boat skipper and tough-as-nails Navy man — lands a fierce punch square on a Japanese officer's jaw while a rising-sun flag looms ominously in the background. The cover tagline teases a "TNT Birthday Card" with a "deep-sea delivery," setting the stage for the story "Yankee Banzai" with a flair that only DC's war comics could muster. Ross Andru and Mike Esposito deliver a visceral, up-close combat image that captures exactly the gritty intensity this series was known for in the mid-1960s.
