Reading Room PLANET COMICS "Star Pirate"

In space, no one can hear you say "Arrr, matey..."
...as this example of the little-known "pirates in space" sub-genre proves!
Like most pirates (who are romantics at heart), Star Pirate is a sucker for a pretty face.
The Star Pirate became a fixture in Planet Comics, running from 1941 until just before the book's cancellation in 1953.
The name "Leonardo Vinci" on this intro tale from #12 (1941) is a pen-name assigned to this particular strip.
The general consensus is that the artist is Al Gabrielle, but the writer is unknown.
