In "Maelstrom of the Deep," Captain Tootsie takes on a sweet crisis when rival schoolkids sabotage a sock hop by stealing the ice cream and Tootsie Rolls. With a mix of grit and candy-coated determination, he tracks down the culprits, rescues the treats, and even replaces the ones they’d already eaten—proving that even in a sugar-fueled showdown, justice (and dessert) prevails. Art by C. C. Beck and Pete Costanza brings the lighthearted chaos to life in this 1947 Fawcett classic.

Maelstrom of the Deep
8.67 pp · Adventure

Don Winslow volunteers to pilot an untested plexiglass globe to the ocean's deepest, most treacherous depths—over six miles down—to investigate mysterious seismic tremors that could threaten the world. Aboard Professor Riccard's experimental vessel, Winslow must brave crushing pressure and the dangers of the deep itself to uncover what's causing the disturbances on the ocean floor. It's a mission no man has attempted before, and failure could mean the globe—and its pilot—never return to the surface.
