Star Spangled War Stories #66

A Navy sailor braces against the chaos of a carrier deck under aerial assault on Jerry Grandenetti's striking cover — a crashing enemy aircraft fills the smoky sky above him while explosions erupt all around the U.S.N. flattop. This February 1958 DC anthology delivers the featured story "Flattop Pigeon!" alongside what the cover promises are additional tales of "flaming action on fighting fronts." Written by Robert Kanigher with art by Grandenetti, it's a vivid snapshot of the intense naval war comics DC was producing at the height of the genre's popularity.
