In "The Trail of 'Burro Sam'," Hardie finds himself on a high-stakes mission guarding a trainload of old currency bound for destruction, only to be stranded when an avalanche buries part of the track—then ambushed by ruthless robbers. Written by Gaylord Du Bois and illustrated by Alberto Giolitti, this 1960 Dell adventure blends frontier danger with a pulse-pounding chase, all rendered with crisp, evocative art. The cover by Alberto Giolitti captures the tension perfectly.
