Submarine Attack #27
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeSam Glanzman's cover for this 1961 Charlton war title delivers an underwater scene of genuine tension — two divers in heavy gear bang against the hull of a sunken submarine on the ocean floor while, in a circular inset above, a warship cuts through the China Sea. The stark cover tagline, "The Crew Was Buried Alive," sets an urgent tone for the featured story, "The Derelict," with interiors by Joe Gill, Bill Molno, Vince Alascia, and Jon D'Agostino. At just ten cents, Submarine Attack #27 is a fine snapshot of early-'60s naval adventure comics done with real atmosphere.

Admiral Maxie Haines tells an inquisitive reporter the story of how the submarine, the Moonfish, became a derelict. In December of 1941, the Japanese had attacked the sub stationed in the Philippines, with the skipper Lieutenant John Welles having to give his life for it. However the sub later runs aground on an island where the Japanese then gain control of it. There they repair it and take the Admiral and Engineering Officer away with them in the sub. However, in an unfamiliar sub, the Japanese are tricked into flooding it, trapping themselves inside while the two prisoners manage to escape.
