All-New Comics #5
In "Torpedoes For Dessert," a wartime submarine crewman named Ernie makes a fateful call from Australia, casually recounting a recent brush with the Japanese navy to his sweetheart Myrtle—unaware his conversation is being monitored. Penciled and inked by Martin Epp, this 1943 tale captures the tension of wartime communication with a quiet, grounded realism. The cover, by Alex Schomburg, mirrors the story’s mood with a striking, period-accurate design.
