Thrilling Comics #44
In the wartime pages of Thrilling Comics #44 (1944), a tropical storm strands Lucky and his friends on a remote island, where they’re captured by enemy forces who’ve stolen a sacred idol from a native temple. With guts and quick thinking, the Leathernecks break free, outmaneuver their captors, and set things right—bringing the idol back to its rightful place. Penciled and inked by Maurice Gutwirth, the story unfolds with the gritty energy of its era, while Alex Schomburg’s dynamic cover captures the island’s danger and mystery.
