Paul Wheelahan's The Panther #40

In "Danger in the Depths," Paul Wheelahan delivers a tense, character-driven tale set against the backdrop of Cold War-era New York Harbor. As a Russian warship docks on a goodwill visit, young pacifist Luke finds himself drawn into a dangerous plot when his radical friend Buzz Vell recruits him for a sabotage mission—despite his beliefs. With Wheelahan handling every aspect of the story, from writing and art to inks and letters, this 1960 issue captures a moment of moral tension with quiet intensity.
