Barker

The Barker tackles a swindler named Pistachio who's been fired from the circus for his troublemaking ways. When a publicity stunt goes sideways—turning Pistachio into a fake cave man to stir up interest in the next town—the schemer decides to use the chaos for his own gain, robbing locals while disguised. As the real cave man act arrives to capitalize on the hysteria, Pistachio's con threatens to unravel in ways he never anticipated.

Gootcho Savage Gorilla
14 pp · script Joe Millard · pencils Klaus Nordling · inks Klaus Nordling

Colonel Lane's circus faces a crisis when their star attraction, the world-famous gorilla Gootcho, dies—and he must find a replacement before the afternoon show. When Colonel stumbles upon "Barney" at Slick's Hot Licks Cafe, the desperate promoter is willing to take the gorilla on Slick's terms, unaware that the shrewd cafe owner has his own scheme in mind. As Gootcho takes the big top by storm, the Colonel discovers that things may not be quite what they seem, and Slick's past catches up with him in ways neither man expected.
