Submarine Attack #30

The cover of this October 1961 Charlton issue plunges readers straight into naval combat, with a submarine surfacing amid explosive bursts and a chaos of sound effects — "WHOOSH," "WHAM WHAM," "THUNK," and urgent sonar beeps filling the air as a warship looms overhead. A inset panel at the bottom corner puts us face-to-face with two grim-looking submariners reacting to a torpedo scraping their conning tower, their location dangerously pinpointed by the enemy. With cover art by Jack Abel and a teased story called "The Betrayal" alongside the interior tale "You Die at Sixty Below," this issue delivers the tense, undersea warfare drama that made Action Packed Submarine Attack a standout in Charlton's adventure lineup.
