Two-Fisted Tales #19
Two-Fisted Tales v1 #19, 1951 - In the 18th century, British warships often kidnapped young men for service on the high seas. The story of one particular man is visualized by Wally Wood. The artist is still honing his drawing skills, but improves from just the previous issue. His opening page is the most arresting, introducing the sadistic ship captain (see interior page below). The heavy inking resembles another EC colleague, Jack Davis, but it's clear Wood is trying to find his own voice. This story was later reprinted in Two-Fisted Tales v2 #2. Other artists in this comic include John Severin and Johnny Craig. Cover by Harvey Kurtzman.

The practice of co-ercing young men on board ship and then letting them know the next port of call was three months away was common. Often they would get them drunk and encourage a lady-friend interaction, then when the drunken sailor woke up - he was already too far off shore to "change his mind".
Its also why the Navy has to fund films like Top Gun these days - they can't trick kids into enlisting - but Tom Cruise can somehow make it sexy.
