Ghost pirates of Skull Valley


Ghost pirates sound like Pirates Of the Caribbean, but this tall tale of a ship full of specters comes from Fiction House's Ranger Comics #54, published in 1950.

The moody, dramatic and cinematic adventures of Dr. Drew, the ghost hunter, were done in the style of the Eisner studio, drawn by Will Eisner assistant Jerry Grandenetti.

I've shown other Secret Files of Dr. Drew stories in Pappy's #571 and Pappy's #735.
