Star Spangled War Stories #70

From the depths of underwater combat, this June 1958 DC issue features a gripping cover by Joe Kubert that drops you right into the action — two frogmen in full diving gear grapple fiercely atop a partially surfaced submarine, clouds of churning water erupting around them in a scene that practically crackles with tension. The featured story, "No Medal for a Frogman!" — written by Bob Haney with art by Jerry Grandenetti — promises the kind of gritty, boots-on-the-ground (or fins-in-the-water) war storytelling that made Star Spangled War Stories a staple of its era. Rounding out the package are additional tales of "flaming action on fighting fronts," making this a satisfyingly packed ten-cent read.
