SUNDAY FUNNIES!! Blackbeard


This is one of EC Publishing new comics, or "New Direction" comics after their horror line, such as "TALE FROM THE CRYPT" was banned.  Although I noticed they did not hesitate showing being stabbed and hung in this New Direction comic.
I'm not sure how much historical research went into this to make it historically accurate.  I don't think they even mentioned Blackbeard's real name was Edward Teach and I think he lost his life my being hung by the British on one of the islands that make up the Outer Banks of North Carolina.
