Four Color #449

In "Zane Grey's Tappan's Burro," the rugged journey of prospector Tappan and his loyal burro Jenet unfolds across treacherous deserts and brutal mountain storms, tested by heat, isolation, and the ever-present threat of rustlers. Written by Gaylord Du Bois and illustrated by Ray Thayer, this classic tale captures the enduring spirit of the American West in a 1953 Four Color comic. The cover, by Morris Gollub, perfectly frames their relentless struggle against the elements.
