Red Ryder Comics #28
In "A Puppy for Little Beaver," the young hero faces a daring rescue mission when renegade Pueblo Indians steal Po-ko’s sheep and take her captive, hiding in a trio of mud and stick wickiups. With courage and quick thinking, Little Beaver outwits the raiders, diving underwater to evade arrows and discovering a hidden cave with ancient conquistador armor that shields him from harm. Written by Gaylord Du Bois and illustrated by Fred Harman—whose dynamic artwork defines the cover and interior—this 1945 adventure blends frontier action with heart, all in a 10-cent comic from Dell.
