"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.
