Submarine Attack #14

Charlton's naval war anthology delivers tense, salt-sprayed drama with this 1958 issue, whose cover by Sam Glanzman puts you right in the chaos: uniformed sailors scramble across the deck of submarine U-427 as a massive wall of fire and explosion erupts directly ahead, smoke billowing across a sky lit brilliant orange and yellow. It's a striking scene of men caught between duty and catastrophe on the open sea, setting an appropriately stormy stage for the interior tale "Duel in the Hurricane's Eye," written by Joe Gill.
