Don Winslow of the Navy #23

This February 1945 Fawcett issue puts America's fighting ace right in the thick of it — Don Winslow stands poised in a small rowboat, oar raised and ready to strike, as a threatening figure crouches at the bow and an unconscious blonde woman lies helpless between them. The tagline "Peril on the High Seas" says it all, capturing the tense, open-water danger that made this series a wartime favorite. With a story titled "Mystery of the Missing Bombers!" waiting inside, issue #23 delivers the nautical action and intrigue fans of Don Winslow had come to count on.
