In "Episode 43: A New Home," Dean takes charge during a tense mission on Tubal Island, spotting enemy Jap vessels and rallying support with quick thinking and courage.

Written by Gaylord Du Bois and illustrated by Bill Ely, this 1942 adventure captures a young hero’s pride in stepping into the role of a true defender, his emotions echoing the nation’s wartime spirit. Cover by Bill Ely.
