Capt. Storm #3

DC's Capt. Storm #3 from 1964 puts the "Wooden-Legged Skipper" in an agonizing dilemma right on the cover — his crew clings to a life raft in churning seas, pleading "Save yourself — cast us loose!" while enemy aircraft strafe the water around them and PT-47 burns in the background. Irv Novick's cover art captures the chaos with vivid energy, balancing the helpless men in the raft against a soldier in the foreground gripping a machine gun, ready to fight back. The tagline "Death of a PT Boat!" promises the kind of gritty, morally charged wartime drama that made this series a compelling corner of DC's 1964 war comics lineup.
