“The Bombing of Pearl Harbor”

In "The Bombing of Pearl Harbor," a 1941 Quality Comics standout, the Axis Powers launch a surprise global assault—targeting Pearl Harbor, Guam, and even Portland, Maine—while Buddy’s clever wire-net tactic proves a surprising defense. With the Spirit of John Paul Jones guiding him, Uncle Sam rallies America’s retired frigates in a daring sea defense, turning the tide in a story written by Harry Stein and illustrated with dynamic precision by Lou Fine, whose distinctive art defines the cover and interior alike.

The Axis Powers spread a wide net of mayhem, attacking Pearl Harbor (by the Germans yet!), Guam and Portland, Maine. Buddy's idea of building a wire net, carried below airplanes to foul up the invader's plane props, was quite successful. While defending the seas near Maine, Uncle Sam encountered the Spirit of John Paul Jones, which inspired Sam to use America's retired frigates to encircle the enemy in fire, even as enemy soldiers invaded Boston, Massachusetts.
