I am looking at the native by Bullseye's head that seems to be whispering "sweet nothings". Yet the (native's) right hand, whilst a little menacing as-is, looks like it should have a knife. The other (standing) guy also has a "mystery hand", but not as pronounced. The timing for bowdlerised art is about right - very early in the Comics' Code's introduction and I'd guess publishers and the Code were feeling their way. Unless I've missed the point entirely, and the "unarmed" native is "the Prophet" and is in fact giving our hero secret instructions as to how to avoid "The Scalptaker". Oh, and a lovely book. Westerns are so under-rated. Great thinking! I agree 100%. Most likely they had the cover art already prepped to go, but by then the rules had changed. I never noticed it, but I also agree that the art appears to have been censored. Either that or the natives temporarily interrupted a dice game to take care of Bulls Eye. Years ago I had a stack of coverless Westerns from the 1950s. I never bothered to figure out whether they were early Code or later reprints, but they had clearly been heavily censored with much violence crudely whited out. Dialog balloons were frequently only half filled because, presumably, threatening or particularly violent language had been cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ft88 Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Is this a Nova Scotia Pedigree? I've been looking at others and the "M" matches but none seem to have a date stamp. Came across another dozen that also have the red date stamp from 1943-1944. Pretty cool to handle (carefully) raw. Like a time machine it's so new.
