☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Haunted Beach," Sgt. Danbury finds himself trapped on a beach at Anzio, pinned down by enemy fire, until a vivid dream of a long-forgotten Roman battalion offers him a desperate idea. Written and illustrated by Bill Ely, with lettering by Stan Starkman, this 1962 DC tale blends wartime tension with a haunting historical echo—where past and present collide in a moment of survival. The cover, also by Bill Ely, captures the eerie stillness of the beach under a watchful sky.
In "The Haunted Beach," Sgt. Danbury finds himself trapped on a war-ravaged beach at Anzio, pinned down by enemy fire—until a dream of a long-forgotten Roman battalion, similarly besieged, gives him an idea. With the weight of history echoing in his mind, he devises a desperate plan to turn the tide, using the past to outwit the present.
In a delightfully absurd twist, Jo stumbles upon the long-lost Professor Zooley—rediscovered after vanishing like a modern-day Livingstone—only to find the man utterly unbothered by his disappearance. All he cares about is settling a decades-old debate: who won the World Series?
