“The Horror of the Seas”

In "The Horror of the Seas," Captain America and Bucky dive into a chilling mystery beneath a tropical reef, uncovering an ancient undersea temple and a fanatical Nazi commander using a submerged civilization to fuel a secret invasion. Written by Manly Wade Wellman and brought to life with stark, atmospheric art by Al Avison—both inks by Syd Shores and George Klein—this 1942 tale blends wartime suspense with mythic dread. The cover by Al Avison captures the eerie depth of the underwater threat in bold, shadowed lines.
