Four Color #340

In "The Murder of Slick Jon," a 1951 Four Color comic from Dell, young Footloose becomes an unlikely witness to the brutal ambush of notorious gambler Slick Jon. With Billy and Mandy the prime suspects after their father was scammed, the town’s corrupt Coroner Webb shuts down Footloose’s testimony—leaving King to help Billy escape and infiltrate the killers’ hideout. Penciled and inked by Jim Gary and Rodlow Willard, with a cover by Jim Gary, this gripping mystery unfolds in a tense, shadowed world where trust is scarce and the truth is buried under lies.
