You’ll see William Dampier mentioned in the introduction of the Middy Malone story. William Dampier is a historical figure, an English explorer, pirate, navigator and naturalist – the first person to circumnavigate the world three times! During his travels, he was the first to record some words from other languages that have become part of English, including avocado, barbecue and chopsticks. His piratical endeavours (both as a pirate or under royal licence as a privateer) meant that he gathered considerable treasure, and there were tales that some treasure was hidden – and it’s being sought in the Middy Malone stories. William Dampier is no stranger to Australian comics - you’ll find a story featuring him in True Pirate Comics #7 here in the Australian and New Zealand section of Comic Book Plus.
