“The Mystery of the Lighthouse”

In "The Mystery of the Lighthouse," Sub-Mariner Comics #8 delivers two distinct tales from 1942, each capturing the quiet rhythms of wartime life. The first follows two boys anticipating a carefree Saturday, only to find their plans reshaped by a mother’s practical priorities. The second sees them borrowing a dollar from Dad to buy defense stamps—only to discover their purchase brings more than expected. Written and drawn by Ray Houlihan, with a striking cover by Alex Schomburg, this 10-cent classic blends everyday moments with subtle, unexpected turns.
