Tropic Thunder--The Prequel?!?

It's a bit of a rambunctious shore leave for the boys of PT 47!


So Lieutenant Storm and crew are not ready for this surprise assignment:


Well, of course they encounter a surprise Japanese carrier group. They manage to elude the enemy, but the vigorous maneuvers leave the crew in poor shape:

Oh, dear...

But the day is saved...?


I kind of agree with Storm on this one...

But just then...

Well, that's it. Everyone is dead, right?

WRONG!!

Because...ACTING!!!!!

Because everyone knows that actors can do anything as well as the people they're portraying! ACTING!!
 
Well, the real crew recovers, they sink the Japanese "flattop," and head home...


Womp womp....

From Capt. Storm #12 (1966)

Must have been the only Captain Storm story where Storm has his wooden leg intact at the end. It usually attracted bullets like some kind of weird... bullet-magnet.
