Buccaneers #24

This November 1950 Quality Comics issue delivers exactly what its tagline promises — "swashbuckling pirate yarns of adventure on the bounding main!" — with a ship-deck brawl that leaps right off the cover: a dark-haired hero swings on a rope, sword and dagger at the ready, while roughneck pirates close in from all sides and a imperiled blonde woman in red looks on in alarm. Fifty-two full-width pages pack in four featured characters — Captain Daring, Adam Peril, Black Roger, and Eric Falcon — making this a genuinely generous anthology for any fan of high-seas adventure.
