Don Winslow of the Navy #60

From Fawcett's long-running naval adventure series comes this August 1948 issue, featuring a tense cover by penciler Carl Pfeufer and inker John Jordan — Don Winslow, bound to a ship's mast in his naval uniform, strains against his ropes while a masked, pistol-wielding woman in a red pirate hat looms in the foreground. That villain is Singapore Sal, billed right on the cover as Don's "most sinister enemy," and the story promised inside — "Death for Sale" — sounds like it delivers exactly the high-stakes intrigue fans of the series loved. A vivid snapshot of late-1940s adventure comics at their most dramatic.
