House of Mystery #23
In "The Flying Dutchman!", unemployed seaman Mike Dillon is dragged aboard the cursed ghost ship and forced into grueling labor. When he strikes the captain with a cutlass, the blade proves useless—only to reveal the ship’s true purpose as a front for a sailing counterfeiting ring. Art by Jim Mooney, with a cover by Ruben Moreira, this 1954 DC tale blends maritime dread with a twist of deception.
