Penciled and inked by John Jordan, the story crackles with wartime suspense and classic adventure flair.
When Jetsam Joe boasts that his pal Eaglebeak can do anything, a skeptical sailor challenges him—leading Joe to defend his friend's incredible abilities with increasingly wild claims.

Jetsam Joe tries to help Cap sign cargo reports by using a ruler to keep his signature straight—but his unconventional approach to neatness leads to a comedy of misunderstandings and pranks that leave everyone more frustrated than grateful. Written and illustrated by Tom McNamara, this half-page humor story from 1945 proves that good intentions don't always translate to smooth sailing in the Navy.
When Don Winslow and Red Pennington escape from the Scorpion's clutches, they're recaptured and forced into an elaborate scheme to infiltrate Mariwala Island disguised as wounded Marines—all to set up a surprise attack on the base.

With pencils and inks by John Jordan, "The Scorpion Shows His Hand" delivers the kind of nail-biting naval action that made Don Winslow a wartime favorite.
