"Silent Service!" is a gripping wartime tale from Two-Fisted Tales #32 (1953), a standout entry in EC's storied lineup. Written by Jerry De Fuccio and brought to life with bold, dynamic art by Jack Davis—whose pencils and inks define the issue’s tense atmosphere—this story follows an American submarine caught in a deadly game of cat and mouse after torpedoing two Japanese aircraft carriers. The cover, a striking wartime scene rendered in sharp lines by Wally Wood, captures the moment of high stakes and silent resolve.

In the tense waters of the Pacific, an American submarine crew faces a harrowing ordeal when their attack on two Japanese aircraft carriers triggers a relentless depth charge assault. With time running out and the enemy closing in, the crew uses a desperate signal—red paint sent to the surface—to trick their pursuers into believing the sub is destroyed, all while silently mourning the loss of a carrier they had sunk.
