Pirates in the water!


I should have shown this a couple of months ago when the Somali pirates were in the news. The Boy Commandos and their leader, Rip Carter, take on modern day (circa 1946) pirates in "Torpedo Pirates" from Boy Commandos #19, January 1947.

Grand Comics Database has more question marks which means they're qualifying their attributions. They say Jack Kirby? did the art and Howard Sherman? did the inking. It looks like Kirby to me, but I'll leave it to you hawkeyed art spotters to judge.
