Buccaneers #19

This January 1950 Quality Comics title delivers exactly what its tagline promises — "swashbuckling pirate yarns of adventure on the bounding main!" Reed Crandall's cover art sets the stage with a tense beachside duel between a red-coated buccaneer and a confident, bare-chested swordsman, while a wide-eyed woman in a scarlet gown looks on in alarm, a tall ship visible on the horizon behind them. Featuring Captain Daring, "famed freebooter of the seven seas," this is high-seas adventure rendered with real energy and style for just ten cents.
