In "The Sub-Mariner Raps the Japs in the Pacific!", Prince Namor takes to the deep in a newly designed three-man submarine, a formidable underwater war machine bristling with eight 6-inch torpedoes, depth charges, machine guns, and a flame thrower—built for speed and destruction. Bill Everett’s bold art and Allen Simon’s inks bring this wartime underwater mission to life, while Al Gabriele and George Klein’s cover captures the fierce intensity of the sea battle to come.
