In "Curse of the Orient," Black Jack takes on a dangerous mission during wartime, uncovering a spy ring in a shadowy casino as U-boat threats loom over America’s supply lines. Penciled and inked by Sam Cooper, this 1943 adventure blends wartime tension with classic espionage, while the cover by Harry Shorten captures the intrigue with a striking, period-accurate design.
