Number 1758: Captain Daring is run aground by beauty

It is appropriate that Reed Crandall’s inspiration for Captain Daring should have been movie star Erroll Flynn. Flynn had a reputation as quite a swordsman...in more ways than one, heh-heh.

Captain Daring has an eye for a lovely lass like Quilla, the sexy savage of this tale. Even Lady Dolores, who is his lady love, is jealous of such beauty. Especially when Captain D. piles it on with comments like, "I find it hard to believe such beauties dwell in jungle huts!” In the last panel Dolores makes sure that Captain Daring knows she is available when she tells him, “And you know what welcome awaits your return!” Flog me if that isn’t an invitation to tussle with the lady’s bustle.

From Buccaneers #21 (1950):

Buccaneers had only an eight issue run. Here is the first Captain Daring story from Buccaneers #19, and the last from #27. Just click on the thumbnails, buckos.
