National Comics #50
In "Worth How Much?", Salty, a gruff but good-hearted sailor, tries to ease a fellow crewmate’s fear of the sea—only to accidentally provoke a group of WAVEs with his bold claim that he can "lick any wave." Written, drawn, and inked by Bernard Dibble, this 1945 tale from National Comics #50 captures a moment of naval camaraderie and quiet tension, with Jack Cole’s sharp cover art framing the clash of pride and perception.
