☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"Dynamite-eating Mule" is a delightfully absurd 1959 adventure from Four Color #1002, featuring the unmistakable art of David Gantz in both story and cover. When millionaire Skinflint T. Nursenickle’s timber empire faces sabotage from the Catfish Kid’s river-blocking dam, he calls in the unlikely fixer Buffalo Bee—only to find himself in a battle of wits, not wood. With Gantz’s expressive, energetic style bringing every over-the-top twist to life, this one’s a quirky, high-stakes caper from the golden age of comic book mischief.
In "Tall Timber Tussle," millionaire Skinflint T. Nursenickle’s timber empire faces chaos when a series of mishaps threaten his operations, prompting him to summon the notorious Buffalo Bee. Meanwhile, the cunning Catfish Kid dams the river, holding Nursenickle’s logs hostage—and demands half the business to restore the flow.
In "The Outlaw Lawman," the Catfish Kid’s crooked victory as Sheriff of Fleabite unravels when his ballot-box stuffing is exposed—leading him and his gang to kidnap Honey, Buffalo Bee’s girlfriend, in a desperate bid to escape justice.
In "Rogue Roundup," the cunning Prof. Presto pulls off a flashy magician's act at a rodeo to lure in the elusive Buffalo Bee, only to trap him mid-escape. When Presto's gang flees after robbing the bank, they vanish into the mysterious depths of Mammoth Cave, leaving behind a trail of chaos and hoofprints.
In "Jailhouse Escape," the Catfish Kid makes a bold bid for freedom with nothing but a hammer and chisel, only to find his clever escape quickly redirected by Buffalo Bee, who puts his knack for tools to work on the rockpile.
