“The Square Peg”

This February 1960 Charlton release packs three stories into one dime — "The Square Peg," "The U.S.S. Ice Cube," and "The Undetected!" — making it a genuine bargain in wartime anthology thrills. The cover, with pencils by Bill Molno, Sam Glanzman, and Pat Masulli and inks by Rocco Mastroserio, Glanzman, and Masulli, uses a dynamic collage layout: a central action panel shows a helmeted sailor landing a punch with a resounding "WHUMP!" while a desperate speech balloon reads "We ain't got a prayer — Shorty Weaver's scared and the skipper's in a coma," flanked by inset vignettes of Nazi submarines and underwater combat scenes. With interior work by writer Joe Gill and artist/inker Sam Glanzman, Submarine Attack #20 delivers the tense undersea drama that made this Charlton series a standout of early 1960s war comics.

Lieutenant Shorty Weaver dislikes submarine service, but his father needs his expertise at a base in 1942 Pearl Harbor. There he proves his worth, but Captain McGown doesn't like his attitude and so pushes him twice as hard as the others. One night, in an atoll, the Lieutenant torpedoes a Japanese ship and manages incredibly to escape from the other ships in the vicinity. This makes both the Lieutenant like his job and Captain McGown respect him.
