"Señor Sawbones" is a standout tale from Four Color #1160, a 1961 Dell comic that captures the quiet drama of small-town resilience. When a rider breaks his leg, Rowdy brings him to the reluctant new doctor, Raul Sanchez, whose skill earns him begrudging trust—especially after a tornado threatens the town and the doctor proves his worth in the aftermath. Written by Eric Freiwald and Robert Schaefer and illustrated with crisp detail by Dan Spiegle, the story’s quiet moments carry weight, with the cover by Dan Spiegle perfectly capturing the tension of a storm on the horizon.
