Capt. Storm #4

DC's gritty World War II series puts P.T. Boat Skipper Capt. Storm right in the thick of it on this 1964 issue, with Irv Novick's dynamic cover depicting Storm locked in desperate hand-to-hand combat atop PT-47 as enemy aircraft burst into flames overhead and a Japanese torpedo bobs in the churning water below. The story banner promises "First Command — Last Command!", hinting at high stakes for the captain who's simultaneously trying to "nail that buzzard" and deal with a lurking "TNT fish." Robert Kanigher and Novick deliver the kind of pulse-pounding naval action that made this series a standout among DC's war comics of the era.
