Don Winslow of the Navy #3

From Fawcett's 1943 wartime lineup comes this action-packed issue of Don Winslow of the Navy, with a cover showing the naval hero mid-brawl — swinging from rigging while trading blows with an opponent, as a uniformed sailor stands ready nearby and a damaged aircraft looms in the background. The cover copy promises 68 full-color pages built around Don Winslow's single-handed invasion of the Japanese-held Philippines, making the stakes unmistakably clear. At just a dime, this issue captures the determined spirit of 1943 American wartime adventure comics at a vivid, pulpy best.
