Adventures in Wonderland #2

Published by Lev Gleason in June 1955, this colorful all-ages title brings swashbuckling excitement straight to the ship's deck, where a young boy in green boldly parries a cutlass blow from the menacing Captain Pegleg — complete with skull-and-crossbones hat and wooden leg — while a wide-eyed friend looks on in alarm. Myron Fass's cover art crackles with lively energy, filling every inch with rigging, lantern light, and the pirate's defiant challenge: "You dare to cross swords with Captain Pegleg, me bucko!" At just ten cents, Adventures in Wonderland #2 offered young readers a cheerful dose of high-seas adventure with "Peter Pester's Wonderful Secret" waiting inside.
