Fightin' Navy #121

Charlton's Fightin' Navy #121 from 1965 promises some intense naval action with its featured story, "The Ghost of PT-197." The cover by Rocco "Rocke" Mastroserio puts you right in the chaos — sailors scramble across a stricken PT boat as explosions light up the horizon and an enemy vessel burns in the background, with a desperate crewman crying out "Skipper! We're hit — it's the end of the 197!" It's a vivid, kinetic scene that captures the danger and camaraderie of wartime storytelling, with interior work by the reliable team of writer Joe Gill, artist Bill Molno, and inker Jon D'Agostino.
