The strange part is he found his contact lens.
Don Winslow Of The Navy
Okay, here’s where we get confused. Apparently this is part of the “Four Color” series by Dell Publishing/Western Publishing according to Comic Book Plus, the second in the series. The cover date they give is November, 1939, so we’re starting a new month. On the other hand, the comic itself gives no publisher and list the dates 1936, 1937, and 1938, with the copywrite going to Bell Syndicate, Inc. This may well be a collection of strips by former Lieutenant Frank Victor Martinez, a World War I veteran from Naval Intelligence, which did receive a serial adaptation after this comic came out. Fawcett would do some original comics and there was also apparently a radio drama. Also credited is Leon A. Beroth, who I assume is the artist.
I know this isn’t usually my kind of story, but it’s a comic in the Golden Age that is just one character, so I got curious. After getting the full history, I’m kind of set up to do this, so I’ll continue. Not sure what I’ll do with the rest of the series. Don returns in #22 if you’re curious.
