Funnies Album #[3]/1944

"The Sea-Rover" kicks off with Kean, a sharp investigator, drawn into a mystery when a dying man whispers the name of a sunken ship before passing. Set in Oporto during wartime, Kean is captured by his old enemy, the Shadow, who's determined to silence anyone who knows the truth behind the gold bullion's disappearance. With help from his loyal assistant Mickey and his dog Juno, Kean uncovers a web of deceit tied to a murdered man in England and a fraud that reaches far beyond the sea. Written and drawn entirely by Bill McCail, with a striking cover by William Ward, this 1943 Funnies Album entry blends intrigue and suspense in a tight, atmospheric tale.
