Submarine Attack #45

Cold War tensions dive deep in this 1964 Charlton thriller, with Dick Giordano's cover dropping readers right into the action — a diver in full gear plunges through churning underwater chaos while enemy frogmen close in and a Soviet submarine (red star prominently displayed) lurks in the background. A speech bubble warns that a "mighty big Commie sub" has infiltrated the astronaut drop zone, setting the stage for Joe Gill's story "The Boon-Doggle Run." It's a tightly wound snapshot of early-'60s Cold War anxiety, rendered with real kinetic energy by Giordano's confident linework.
