Four Color #363

In "Framed by R. I. Peace," a 1951 Four Color #363 story by Jim Gary, a weakened Mountie named King is manipulated by a cunning morgue attendant after a near-drowning. When the attendant, R. I. Peace, steals money from the dead and uses King's vulnerable state to steal his uniform, King finds himself wrongly accused of murdering three miners for their gold. With Jim Gary handling both the story and art—pencils and inks alike—this early tale of deception and mistaken identity unfolds with a tense, noir-tinged pulse.
