Seller's Description
WORLD AROUND US # 10 (Classics Illustrated) U.S. NAVY COMIC! 1959! $40.00 Shipped!
I ship UP TO 10 Comics for the Priority Flat Rate of $10.10.
Issue # 10 - June 1959 - VG/FN!
"The First Hero" tells the Origin of the U.S. Navy as John Paul Jones rises to captain in a seafaring career, then joins the infant America Navy. Through a series of brilliant single-ship actions, he becomes that service's first great hero!
"The First Fleet" sees Congress order the first naval vessels for the Revolutionary War, the war with the Barbary Pirates, and the War of 1812!
"They Shall Fight Today!" Oliver Hazard Perry fights and wins the Battle of Lake Erie, sinking or capturing the opposing British fleet.
"A Bet Is Paid" Friends in peacetime, Captains Dacres ("Guerriere") and Hull ("Constitution") bet a hat as to which ship would win in a battle. When they meet in the War of 1812 Hull wins decisively, and takes his opponent's hat, rather than his sword, in surrender!
"Learning to Lead" Farragut rises to high rank without an education, but succeeding generations of officers need more. Shocked by an attempted mutiny, Congress establishes the US Naval Academy!
"Fighting Words" Lawrence ("Don't give up the ship") and Mason ("Sighted sub, sank same") coin phrases that live in naval tradition.
"The Navy in War: An Impossible Task!" Farragut fights his ships past forts and flotillas to capture New Orleans!
"The Navy in War: Battle After Breakfast" Dewey decisively wins the Battle of Manila Bay against a Spanish fleet.
"The Navy in War: The Unseen Enemy!" The American and British Navies work out weapons and tactics to defeat the German U-boat campaign in World War I.
"The Navy in War: The Wonderful Blunder!" Six destroyers expose themselves to shellfire in the narrow channel of Inchon, thereby discovering the position of North Korean batteries!
"Cheese-Box on a Barrelhead" Three participants describe the battle between "Monitor" and "Merrimack" (or "Virginia").
"The Navy in Peace" The navy's many peacetime functions include exploration. Wilkes, Peary, and Byrd conduct polar expeditions over a period of a hundred years!
"The Fleet Below" Development of submarines from the American Revolution through the nuclear-powered "Nautilus," which made the first submerged journey through the Arctic Ocean and under the North Pole.
"Mission to Mindanao" Bulkeley commands his PT Boat and squadron in action against the Japanese in the Philippine Islands. In 1942 he commands four boats evacuating General MacArthur!
Artists include: Gerald McCann, Everett Kinstler, Joe Orlando, Ernie Hart, Sam Glanzman and H. J. Kihl!
