Four Color #874

This 1958 Dell tie-in to Walt Disney's Old Ironsides with Johnny Tremain opens with a cover by Taylor Oughton that crackles with nautical danger — two tall ships locked in a fiery sea battle, rigging ablaze and sailors scrambling across the chaotic deck and into the churning water below. A portrait inset of the young hero anchors the top corner, grounding the Revolutionary-era action in its human stakes. Inside, Dan Spiegle brings the story "American Privateers" to life, making this a genuinely spirited piece of Disney comics adaptation from the era.
