Submarine Attack #19
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"Democracy's Ace in the Hole" kicks off in Submarine Attack #19 (1959), a 10-cent Charlton classic where the Commander’s public persona clashes with his quiet dedication—his press appearances and speeches aren’t just show, but a necessary edge in a war fought on more than just the deep sea. Written by Joe Gill and brought to life by Charles Nicholas’s dynamic art and Sal Trapani’s sharp inks, the story captures the tension between duty and perception with a grounded, no-frills energy. The cover, also by Nicholas and Trapani, sets the tone with a striking, action-focused image that hints at the stakes without revealing a single plot beat.
In "The Medal Man," the crew of a submarine grapples with their commander’s unexpected public acclaim, unaware that recognition and accolades are an unavoidable part of command—even when the man himself would rather stay out of the spotlight. The story quietly explores the weight of duty and reputation, set against the tense backdrop of wartime service.
