Aventura #134
In "El huérfano," Sgt. Preston’s life hangs in the balance after a snowslide strands him in the frozen wilderness, only to be rescued by a mysterious man who hides his identity behind a quiet kindness. When Preston later returns to track down the outlaw Buck Croyden—now revealed as a killer and thief—his past act of mercy becomes a quiet echo in a story of betrayal and gold. Written by Gaylord Du Bois and illustrated by Alberto Giolitti, with a striking cover by Morris Gollub, this 1960 issue delivers a taut, character-driven tale set in the harsh beauty of the Yukon.
In "El huérfano," young Bobby Piggot is sent to Sulphur City in the Yukon to live with his aunt and uncle after his father’s death, finding a new life under the watchful eye of Sgt. Preston. When two desperate prospectors lure him away from the trading post with promises of fortune, Bobby soon discovers their true intentions—just as a gunshot echoes through the frozen wilderness.
In "Recompensa para silo," Ben Yates holds Jed Norris's daughter hostage to force him into accepting a paltry $5,000 for a gold mine worth $75,000—unaware that Sgt. Preston is secretly guarding the man who’s offering the true value. The stakes rise as deception and danger collide in a tense showdown on the frontier.
In the frozen wilds of the Yukon, Sgt. Preston is swept into a snowslide and rescued by a mysterious figure who brings him to a remote cabin. Though he recovers under the care of the cabin’s owner, Buck Croyden, Preston leaves unaware of the man’s true identity. Months later, he’s sent to track down Croyden—now a wanted outlaw accused of murder and tied to a stolen gold fortune—unaware that their paths may be more entwined than he knows.
