Comic Book Story: SIR LANCELOT battles "The Ferocious Fathers" by John Buscema (1957)
Back in the Days of Yore (in this case 1956-57), William Russel starred in the British-made TV series The Adventures of Sir Lancelot (now available on cheapo DVD).
Meanwhile, John Buscema, nine years before he started churning out superhero stuff for Marvel and sixteen years before he set to work on Conan the Barbarian, was working for Dell, where both pencilled and inked this March 1957 issue of Four Color #775. In my eyes, this is at least the equal of his Conan work, much of which was inked by other hands. This ish was uploaded to the ever-surprising comicbookplus by a user known as BobR.

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.
