Crack Comics #23
In "The Unsung Hero," a 1942 Crack Comics classic, a disillusioned former fifth columnist named Hawks races against time to warn Senator Wright of a second, devastating attack on the Panama Canal—this one by Japanese forces. With the fate of the war hanging in the balance, Hawks takes to the skies in a final, desperate act, diving into a Japanese vessel as the Condor turns the tide against a Nazi ship, forcing their surrender. Written and illustrated by Lou Fine, with a striking cover by Gill Fox, this issue stands as a powerful wartime tale of redemption and sacrifice.
