In "To Catch a Sub," a 1983 Charlton classic, the crew's mockery of Moran—always buried in books—unexpectedly becomes their only hope when their ship is sunk. With no radio and no map, it's Moran's quiet knowledge that guides them toward a Korean island, where they must steal a boat to survive. Written by Joe Gill and illustrated by Bill Molno, with inks by Sal Trapani and letters by Jon D'Agostino, the issue’s cover by Pat Masulli and Dick Giordano captures the tense, high-stakes journey.
