Pirates Comics #2

This anthology features multiple pirate-themed stories including "Decatur and the Barbary Pirates," which depicts Commodore Preble's campaign against Tripoli, with Stephen Decatur leading a daring raid to destroy the captured American frigate Philadelphia before the Barbary corsairs can use it. The issue also includes "2,000 Pirates at Once," set in 1699, in which American colonists face a shortage of English goods and deal with the threat of piracy, with a colonist's broken axe serving as a catalyst for the story's conflict. Both stories showcase the exploits of notorious buccaneers and naval encounters across different historical periods.
