Combat #4

Dell's Combat #4 brings the Pacific Theater to vivid life, its cover dominated by a resolute naval officer in dress whites — identified by the cover text as Lieutenant John F. Kennedy, USNR — gazing out over a turbulent sea where PT-109 cuts through the waves against a backdrop of distant fire and smoke. The cover blurb sets a gripping scene: a Japanese warship bearing down at forty knots, straight for the 109, launching what promises to be an epic saga of wartime heroism. For fans of WWII naval adventure, this 1962 Dell issue is a compelling snapshot of history rendered in dramatic comic form.
