“Frogman Bait!”

Two combat frogmen clash in deadly underwater tension on this October 1958 DC cover — a USN diver in green grapples with an enemy counterpart atop a massive naval mine bearing the Rising Sun insignia, with submarines visible in the murky distance below. Jerry Grandenetti's cover art captures the claustrophobic danger of underwater warfare with real visceral punch. Inside, Joe Kubert and Ed Herron bring "Frogman Bait!" to life, promising the kind of taut, boots-on-the-ground action that made Star Spangled War Stories a staple of late-1950s war comics.
