Capt. Storm #17

DC's Capt. Storm reaches issue #17 with a cover that pulls you straight into the heat of Pacific naval combat — PT-47 crashes through churning waves while sailors scramble across her deck amid a hail of torpedo fire, with a determined Capt. Storm inset in the corner ready to deliver on an impossible promise. Irv Novick's cover art (inked by Novick and Joe Kubert) crackles with kinetic energy, capturing the desperate intensity of small-boat warfare in the Second World War. The story "First Shot for a Dead Man!" — written by Robert Kanigher with interior art by Irv Novick — promises exactly the kind of high-stakes, hard-edged action that made this series a standout in DC's 1967 war comics lineup.
