Fight Comics #21
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"Lt. John D. Bulkeley" in Fight Comics #21 (1942) delivers a pulse-pounding wartime thriller anchored in real-world courage, as Senorita Rio races against time to warn the Presidente of a deadly plot in a South American capital. Written by Morgan Hawkins and brought to life with dynamic art by Nick Cardy, the story blends espionage and high stakes in a tense, grounded narrative. The cover by Dan Zolnerowich captures the urgency of the moment with bold, cinematic flair.
In the tense pages of *Fight Comics* #21, Senorita Rio arrives in a South American capital with a urgent warning: an assassination attempt looms over the Presidente. Though he dismisses her, her instincts prove deadly accurate—just as danger closes in, her courage and quick thinking may be the only thing standing between him and disaster.
Lt. John D. Bulkeley commands small, fast patrol torpedo boats—"Mosquitoes"—under General MacArthur's command in the Philippines, and when word comes of Japanese shipping in Subic Bay, he seizes the chance to prove his unconventional tactics in combat. Racing through enemy fire with his crew and Ensign Cox, Bulkeley closes on a massive Japanese vessel and delivers a torpedo strike that lights up the bay—but his greatest test comes weeks later when he must guide MacArthur himself through treacherous enemy waters to Australia aboard his tiny boats.
