Four Color #211

In "Professor Clarence Braid, the Child Prodigy," a 1949 Four Color comic from Dell, the brilliant but unworldly young anthropologist arrives in Rimrock to study western life, only to clash with local customs and stir up trouble. As he navigates the reservation with Little Beaver and Po-Ko, a jailbreak by bandits Squeeze and Trigger—seeking a hidden gold cache—sets off a tense chain of events. Written and illustrated by Fred Harman, with cover art by Fred Harman, this issue blends frontier adventure with the misadventures of a young mind out of his depth.
