Submarine Attack #39

Charlton's Submarine Attack #39 brings the claustrophobic dread of undersea warfare right to the surface — literally. Sam Glanzman's cover depicts a grim-faced naval officer straining at the controls of a flooding submarine, water surging around him, while inset figures of a radioman and commanding officer punctuate the crisis with the urgent cry "We're sinking!" The cover copy promises a story called "The Medal Man," centered on a brave naval officer fighting for the lives of his crew deep in enemy waters — tense, gripping wartime drama at its 1963 best.
