Submarine Attack #49

Charlton's Submarine Attack #49 delivers a gripping piece of 1965 naval warfare drama, with cover art by Dick Giordano depicting a ghostly Allied submarine surging out of the mist toward a Nazi U-boat whose swastika flag and deck crew are caught in the eerie glow of an oncoming threat. The cover's blurb sets a tense scene — Kapitan Franz von Kurrst had sunk the U.S.S. Blackfin and watched her go down, yet now something bearing her name bears down on him from the fog. Inside, writer Joe Gill and artists Charles Nicholas and Vince Alascia bring "The Enemies At Hand" to life in the tradition of Charlton's reliable, unpretentious war comics.
