Marvel Masterworks: Golden Age Sub-Mariner #2
In "The Sub-Mariner Raps the Japs in the Pacific!", the ocean's enigmatic guardian investigates a series of mysterious naval sinkings off the Eastern Coast, each tied to lost gold shipments. What he uncovers is a mad doctor using a hidden volcanic chamber to revive ancient, radioactive-laced pirates and send them back to plunder again. Carl Pfeufer's dynamic art brings the underwater mystery to life, while Alex Schomburg's cover captures the pulp-inspired intensity of the tale — a standout entry in the Marvel Masterworks: Golden Age Sub-Mariner series.

The Sub-Mariner looks into the mysterious sinking of U.S. naval vessels off the Eastern Coast, each of them carrying a fortune in gold shipments. But he discovers a crazed doctor who has found an underground volcano that preserved the bodies of dead pirates of days gone by, whom he has been able to revive by a radioactive substance so they can go out and loot ships again after they have sunk.
