A Swashbuckling Adventure of CAPTAIN DARING by Reed Crandall (1950)



Here's another rousing tale from the archives of comicbookplus (check it out!). Buccaneers #19, from January 1950, was the first issue of this title. This story features a cover and pencils from EC great Reed Crandall, and was uploaded by CB+ hero JonTheScanner. It's the next best thing to an Errol Flynn flick, with story elements borrowed from Rafael Sabatini's Captain Blood.

    My new favorite insult: "Shrivel you for an impudent galley-bagger!" I'm gonna use that, next internet argument I get into.

    Crandall was a great artist.

    I agree, James, that Crandall was a great artist. Did you ever see the work he did for Treasure Chest?

    I came across one really spectacular Crandall story in Treasure Chest, which will be playing here soon.
