Dan Eagle #1

Dan Eagle #1 (1954, Invincible Press) introduces a swashbuckling adventure set in a misty jungle near Saigon, where a downed pilot stumbles upon a Spanish explorer’s skeleton and a whisper of buried treasure. Written and illustrated by Moira Bertram in a striking single-creator effort, the story follows Dan Eagle as he battles Bietminhese rebels, outwits pirates, and uncovers a hidden palace of jade—only to find a mysterious black-haired Cambodian girl has stowed away on the escape plane. The cover by Moira Bertram captures the jungle’s eerie allure, perfectly framing the issue’s blend of mystery and peril.
