Don Winslow of the Navy #34

Fawcett's long-running naval adventure series delivers another gripping Pacific-theater tableau with this May 1946 issue, as Don Winslow crouches behind a palm tree manning a belt-fed machine gun while enemy soldiers close in from the shoreline — all against a backdrop of warships exchanging fire on the open water. The tension is palpable right down to the ammunition box at his side and the determined set of his jaw. Promising "Official War Stories," this issue makes clear that Don Winslow of the Navy remained one of the more authentically military-flavored adventure comics of its era.
