Boy Commandos #14

From DC's wartime youth-adventure series, this March–April 1946 issue puts the Boy Commandos right in the thick of a swashbuckling maritime brawl, with the title "Davy Jones' Uninvited Guests!" setting the stage perfectly. Jack Kirby's cover pencils (inked by Joe Simon) crackle with kinetic energy as the red-suited Commandos charge down the hull of a ship toward a gang of menacing, rough-looking pirates wielding blades and fists. At ten cents, this is a vivid snapshot of Kirby and Simon's dynamic partnership bringing high-seas chaos to life with their trademark punchy compositions.
