Wow! How prophetic.

Tonto 8 - Front cover and panel art

Cover -

Partial art from the Inside Front Cover about Old Man Owl. Dells were good comics, they offered valued from cover to cover -

In the first (and better) story, some enterprising fake sawbones scare the tribe in fearing a typhoid crisis to force them to relocate so they can lay train track. Tonto gloms on to the fakery, gets abducted, is rescued by Scout and then confronts the bad apples before they get arrested. Here are snippets of the story -

Sick warriors who worked with the track crew -

Crewman and fake doctor come to scare the tribe -

The council decides on the relocation -

Final showdown -

Tonto # 9 - Front cover and interior panels.

The stories weren't the most inspired in this issue, both -script and pencil-wise. Still, the two stories had the nice featured of a sense of time when the frontier was still not completely settled and the conflicts were related to the process of cohabitation.

First story panel, wherein some braves refuse to accept peace and thrive on the idea of glory at the expense of peace -

Panel on the inside back cover from the second story, wherein the hunting practices of the new comers come in conflict with practices from the locals -

OK, I'm sold. I've gotta pick up a few Tontos now. At least they will be cheap.

Thought I'd haul this thread back to the front page with this tough DC that I won last night.  I had a copy that I bought raw as a 7.5/8.0 that came back from CGC as a 3.0 , so it's nice to pick up this replacement without breaking the bank.

It has!  Probably my favorite cover in the Ghost Breaker part of the run.

I paid $ 8 for this. One of my best buys so far. The guy sent it in a regular letter envelope without any backing board. I will put it up for sale in January here on the boards.

Heritage had a bunch of early post code books from the Green Valley collection in their recent auctions. I’ve never seen these books in high grade before and was hoping to win several of them. I was bidding on the Avenger, Rusty Boy Detective, Johnny Law and Captain Flash.

I only won 2 but they were the ones I really wanted.
