About the Comic:
Dive! Dive! Dive!

In Fightin’ Navy #98, the seas churn with tension as brave U.S. sailors face mines, U-boats, sabotage, and impossible odds. A staple of Charlton’s war comics line, Fightin’ Navy delivered short-story naval combat dramas that were fast, patriotic, and full of grit — often with a twist ending or sobering final panel.

This issue includes multiple war tales drawn in classic 4-color style, each exploring heroism, duty, and sacrifice aboard aircraft carriers, destroyers, and submarines.

Condition Notes (FN/VF Estimate):

• Cover: Bright colors with light surface wear and minor edge creases

• Spine: Firm with slight rolling and a few small stress marks

• Corners: Slight rounding on bottom edges

• Interior Pages: Creamy to off-white, complete and well bound

• Stored: Bagged and boarded, smoke-free collection

Why It’s Worth Collecting:

• A genuine Silver Age Charlton war comic — increasingly scarce in higher grade

• Great for fans of Combat, War Stories, and historical military comics

• FN/VF condition = excellent reader AND display copy

• Underrated war material with strong nostalgic and patriotic vibes

Raised from the Reaper’s dry dock — the battle may be over, but the story still sails.
