Star Spangled War Stories #20

Two combat divers clash in the dark waters beneath a Japanese warship on Jerry Grandenetti's gripping cover for this 1954 DC anthology — explosions burst against the hull as a searchlight cuts through the night and an enemy vessel looms in the distance. Inside, four tales of wartime action await: "Battle of the Frogmen," "Suicide Squad," "Floating Fort," and "Medal for a Saddle," promising exactly what the banner at the bottom declares — flaming action on fighting fronts. It's a fine example of DC's mid-1950s war comics at their most viscerally compelling.
