In "The Diabolical Satana," a 1941 Pocket Comics standout, Commander Jones’ secret bombsight becomes the target of a Nazi plot after his party is disrupted by a kidnapping. With the film set's star, Garboil, found dead and the real threat lurking aboard a U-boat-bound vessel, Black Cat and Rick race to uncover the truth. Written by Alfred Harvey and illustrated by Al Gabriele, this wartime thriller features a twist rooted in identity and betrayal, all rendered with sharp, period-accurate flair. The cover by Joe Simon captures the story’s tension with a striking, dynamic image.
