ChiCom-Crushers COMMANDER BATTLE AND THE ATOMIC SUB "Payoff Battle!"

When last we left the Atomic Commandos...
I'd tell you, but the scripter did such a good job synopsizing the story, I'd be foolish to try to compete...
...BTW, I'm sure I saw this plot reused on Voyage to the Botom of the Sea in the 1960s!
Written by Richard Hughes and illustrated by Ken Landau, this never-reprinted tale from ACG's Commander Battle and the Atomic Sub #5 (1955) was the second and last issue of the anti-communist direction the series took.
The book continued for two more issues, which changed direction yet again, as the Atomic Sub battled flying saucer-riding aliens!
But there are a couple of solo short stories featuring individual Atomic Commandos battling Commies of various sorts, so you haven't seen the last of them in this category!
