Arrrrrrggghhhhh. It's Talk Like A Pirate Day...again

Here we are again, and yet another tip of the Pappy cappy to those days of yore, sailin' o'er the bounding main, pirate lads...and pirate lassies.

Black Bess be one of those lassies. She showed up in Fight Comics #53, 1947, in the Captain Fight story. Personally, I wish she'd stuck around a little longer, because I like the short-shorts and long legs. I also love the pirate hat. Red with a jolly roger! I guess there's no mistaking who she is, is there?

The story is drawn by Jack Kamen.
