DescriptionPage 4 of a five-page Shark Brodie story by an unknown writer in the Eisner and Iger shop. George Tuska pencilled and inked the story as George Aksut.Shark Brodie has a shipment of staples for England coming from Ceylon (Sri Lanka) via the South Seas. A Nazi sub finds Brodie and his ship. The sub's crew boards the ship but are overpowered by Brody and his shipmates, who return the favor by boarding and taking over the sub. They launch torpedoes at the other Nazi raiders, hitting one. Will Eisner and Tuska created soldier of fortune Shark Brodie, “the toughest, two-fisted adventurer in the South Seas.” In 42 appearances in Fight Comics, Brodie encounters the usual array of South Seas menaces: headhunters, crooked white men oppressing the natives, storms, sharks, Japanese agents, the Lagoon of Death, and the Legion of Satan (a team of Japanese and German agents smuggling arms into Burma), according to jessnevins.com.

I'm the captain now! Periscope panel is so classic! Circle panels were already a big part of golden age comics, so they naturally repurpose it for these war stories.

Back in my day, children didn't need no meds! You just gave 'em a slug of whiskey and sent 'em off to school.

Nice early Tuska art. Great that it survived the war years!

This is a great Fiction House war comic series with Shark Brodie in Fight Comics, used to own a few pages myself (sadly no longer but they were cool to appreciate for several years and still have a few of the comics). Great pickup Peter!

A really nice action sequence! I actually prefer this early Golden Age Tuska art to the majority of stuff he did at Marvel and DC from the 1960's onward.

Thanks, Rubén. I don't know much about Tuska but I too prefer the art in this story to much of his Marvel art that I've seen.
