☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"Action in the Sunda Strait" delivers a gripping wartime tale from 1963, capturing the desperate final stand of the U.S.S. Houston and H.M.A.S. Perth during the Battle of Sunda Strait. Written by Paul S. Newman and illustrated with powerful realism by Sam Glanzman—both inks and pencils—this issue brings the harrowing naval engagement to life with unflinching detail. The cover by Sam Glanzman sets the tone with a dramatic, grounded portrayal of the moment.
In the tense aftermath of the Java Sea defeat, the U.S.S. Houston and H.M.A.S. Perth make a desperate stand at the Sunda Strait, their last hope a narrow escape through enemy waters. Fueled by courage and dwindling odds, they push forward toward Australia, knowing the cost of failure.
In "Christmas on Cape Gloucester," Jeff Smith clings to memories of home as he prepares for a deadly ambush, his thoughts drifting to a quiet holiday far from the war. When he and a fellow soldier launch their attack, the brutal reality of combat cuts short a fleeting moment of longing.
