Don Winslow of the Navy #62

Fawcett's long-running naval adventure series delivers a pulse-pounding cover with issue #62, showing Don Winslow clinging to the conning tower of a submarine while an enemy crewman falls away below him and a second adversary lurks in the background amid billowing smoke. The tagline "Thrills and Adventures when The Navy's Dynamo Swings Into Action!" sets the tone perfectly for a 1948 yarn titled "The Return of the American!" The dynamic artwork — rendered by C. C. Beck and inked by Pete Costanza — gives the scene a real sense of height and momentum that practically leaps off the page.
