Classics Illustrated #14 [HRN 53]

"Westward Ho!" is a swashbuckling adventure from Classics Illustrated #14 (1948), blending romance and daring exploits in a tale of sea-faring ambition and justice. Written by Daniel Kushner and Charles Kingsley, and illustrated with bold energy by Allen Simon—both inks and pencils—this issue follows Amyas as he journeys from his coastal town to the West Indies, driven by love and a quest for redemption. With a cover by Allen Simon capturing the drama in striking detail, it’s a timeless story of courage, loss, and the high seas, all in a 10-cent comic from 1948.
