In "Bloodstained Fangs!", Dr. Brandt, a man with a twisted ambition, plots to seize control of the plantation where he works—already having fed the owner to a monstrous, self-designed carnivorous pitcher plant. With a forged deed in hand and the last heir now his next target, his scheme inches toward completion in this eerie 1948 tale. Written by Tom Kent and lettered by Typeset, the story unfolds with a chilling precision, its unsettling atmosphere brought to life by Jack Kamen’s cover art, a striking blend of dread and vintage flair.

Captain Henry Morgan rose from cabin boy to become the most feared pirate on the seven seas, leading thousands of men in brutal raids across the Caribbean—from Puerto del Principe to Panama—using cunning and violence to seize wealth and power. His exploits against Spanish strongholds earned him an unexpected reward: King Charles II knighted him and named him governor of Jamaica, transforming the bloodthirsty buccaneer into a man of official standing. This is the tale of the pirate who conquered empires and rose to rule them.
