Two-Fisted Tales #21

Two-Fisted Tales v1 #21, 1951 - During World War Two, US ships braved the frigid north Atlantic to bring supplies to the besieged Russians. Nazi u-boats were the most common and dangerous threat to the suppliers. Wally Wood's depictions give readers a sobering view of the rough seas and numbingly cold weather that sailors had to endure. On page two, a merchant marine's face is dramatically lit from a lone cigarette. The portrait is unflattering and suggests his nefarious character (see interior page below). Wood even tilts many of the scenes, evoking the sensation of being on a rocking sea vessel. This story was later reprinted in >Two-Fisted Tales v2 #4. Other artists in this golden age comic include John Severin and Jack Davis. Cover by Harvey Kurtzman. This is 4 of 18 Two-Fisted Tales issues by Wood.
