This here comical book was actually based on The Adventures of Long John Silver television programme from the same year wherein Robert Newton returned to the role he made infamous in Disney's Treasure Island a few years a'fore. Most int'restin' is that it was Netwon who single-handedly (or single-leggedly! Har har!) made pirate speech wot it is t'day! Fer-real pirates didn't actually speak that way, nor did actors portrayin' pirates until Newton!
I tip me hat to Golden Age Comics from where I gots me copy o' the issue. But fer me readers, I buried all the vile advertisments, so's you can jus' read the adventures...
