Star Spangled War Stories #97

In "The Sub-Crusher!", the March Brothers find themselves caught in a surreal nightmare when their PT boat and submarine are ambushed by a giant underwater claw. After surviving a series of bizarre attacks—including a giant ape hurling coconuts, aquatic dinosaurs, and a pterodactyl stealing their torpedo—Captain Pete is the last man standing, adrift at sea and witnessing the fate of his crew. The story unfolds with relentless, pulpy suspense, blending wartime grit with prehistoric chaos in a way that feels both wildly unexpected and perfectly in tune with the era’s adventure spirit.

In the skies over England during the war, the legendary bomber *Lady Luck* returns from yet another mission unscathed—her crew calling it pure fortune. But on their final assignment, a jammed bomb bay forces them to circle over the target, enduring relentless flak and enemy fighters. As the ship is torn apart, the crew fights to bring her home, only to crash in a fiery end. Yet even in destruction, their bond and the spirit of the ship endure.
