Submarine Attack #51

Two submarines face off beneath a frozen Arctic expanse on this striking 1965 Charlton cover, where a Soviet sub — its red star clearly visible — surges forward with a dramatic "SWOOSH!" while ice and a submerged ledge threaten to trap it. The featured story, "Crisis Under Ice," promises a tense confrontation between an intruder and a patrol under impossible conditions, with the cover's dialogue making clear the stakes are dangerously high. With pencils by Charles Nicholas and Dick Giordano and inks by Jon D'Agostino and Dick Giordano, it's a nicely rendered slice of Cold War naval tension for twelve cents.
