Marvel Comics Captain Savage And His Battlefield Raiders! Vol. 1 #19 (1970)
Captain Savage and his Leatherneck Raiders is a World War II comic book published by Marvel Comics. The series lasted for nineteen issues, from January 1968 to March 1970. By issue #9 the name was switched to Captain Savage and his Battlefield Raiders. Created by Gary Friedrich and Dick Ayers, the book was a spin-off of the series Sgt. Fury and his Howling Commandos which they wrote at the time. The series was launched when Marvel suddenly received the ability to publish more titles than they had previously due to an embargo
While the rest of the Raiders celebrate the new year, Captain Savage wallows in depression over his wife leaving him. Needing something to take his mind off of it, he takes a mission aboard the Sea Wolf, the submarine he commanded before he was assigned to lead the Raiders.
He, and the crew of the sub, are sent on a non-combat, spy mission, but come in contact with a Japanese Destroyer. Through Captain Savage's leadership, they outwit, and then sink the enemy ship.
Captain Savage realizes that the only way he seems to be able to forget his troubles, is while in command of the Sea Wolf. He debates if he should leave the Marines, and come back to the Sea Wolf full-time. (A note from the Marvel bullpen leaves this decision up to the readers)
