Star Spangled War Stories #57

Two combat frogmen in full diving gear wade through churning surf, one hoisting a bazooka skyward as a enemy tank on the shoreline opens fire — it's a tense, water-soaked standoff rendered with real drama on Jerry Grandenetti's cover. The featured story, "Call for a Frogman!," is written by Robert Kanigher and drawn by Joe Kubert, a strong creative pairing for this kind of gritty, ground-level war action. Rounding things out, this May 1957 issue also promises additional tales of "flaming action on fighting fronts" — plus a list of DC contest winners tucked inside for good measure.
