Don Winslow of the Navy #48
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.
