| there were two Golden Age versions of 'Captain Savage' This one is Nautical, the other was a flyer.
This story has Japanese and NAZIs co-operating to destroy him on a trip to take a message from Singapore to the Phillipines. That would only make sense if it was before the fall of Singapore, but then it wouldn't make sense either because the British at Singapore didn't rate Japan as a threat. Savage is commanding a schooner, with sails, which is unusual but not unlikely at the time.
Crazy little story. The whole book is a good escapist romp! |

| Notes | Art identification based on Flame stories in Wonderworld Comics #24, Big 3 #3, and Wonderworld Comics #26, which were confirmed to have been drawn by Larry Antonette based on his personal records. In those stories, the way ears and faces are drawn on the men and women are similar to those drawn in this story, including how the Flame’s mouth tends to be drawn as being slightly open, as well as how antagonists have noticeably longer noses than the Flame’s. The way fire is drawn between all stories is consistent, particularly when the Flame is melting objects, flying with many whooshing lines behind him, and shooting pistol flame thrower shots, which are cone-like with curved spikes. Explosions are also drawn as spiky balls with billowing mushroom-esque clouds protruding from them. |
