Star Spangled War Stories #104

In "The Tree of Terror!" from Star Spangled War Stories #104, the Flying Boots plunge into chaos on Fireworks Island, battling dinosaurs across land, sky, river, and sea—all while remembering circus owner Zig-Zag Zack’s famous challenge: “Show me!” When a helicopter finally rescues them, they’re stunned to find their old mentor, now a Navy officer, grinning from the cockpit. “Have we got an act for you! With dinosaurs.” “Show me!”

In "The Silent Tin Can!", a son inherits his father’s legacy when he’s assigned to the salvaged USS Ship 53—once the vessel where his father was lost in World War I. Now refitted and deemed too slow for modern combat, the aging ship becomes an unlikely shield when it must intercept a Nazi battleship, forcing its crew to rely on courage and old-school grit rather than speed.

In "Sink That Tank!" from *Star Spangled War Stories* #104 (1962), brothers Lou and Bill find themselves on opposite ends of a deadly battlefield—one in a tank, the other in a submarine—separated by war and fate. As Lou’s tank crew battles through enemy fire and river currents, they improvise a log raft to cross a treacherous waterway, only to be stranded just short of their target: a massive Nazi gun devastating Allied troops. With no other choice, they trigger an avalanche to bury the threat—only to drift out to sea, suddenly rising above the waves… atop Lou’s submarine.
