Four Color #207

A Royal Canadian Mountie in his distinctive red serge struggles to control a rearing black horse amid roaring flames and billowing smoke as a building burns around them — it's a visceral cover scene that captures the high-stakes drama this series was known for delivering. Dell's 1948 adventure title King of the Royal Mounted brings the Mounties' world of rugged wilderness and frontier danger to vivid life, with Jim Gary's cover art conveying both urgency and grit. A figure watches from the background as the chaos unfolds, hinting that whatever sparked this crisis — perhaps connected to the interior story "The Suspicious Death of Sir Basil" — is far from resolved.
