Our Gang Comics #11
In "The Mysterious Groans," Barney and Benny stumble upon a western town in panic, fleeing from eerie groans echoing from a colossal horn carved into a mountainside by a reclusive madman. Written and illustrated by Carl Barks, this 1944 adventure blends frontier mystery with a touch of whimsical dread, all rendered with Barks’ signature detail and pacing. The cover, by Walt Kelly, captures the town’s eerie stillness and the looming, unnatural horn with striking contrast.
