Four Color #484

In "Zane Grey's River Feud," Kevin Bell returns to his Pacific Northwest hometown after a long recovery in an Army hospital, only to find himself ostracized by the very people he once called friends. Accused of cowardice by his former comrade Gus Atwell, Bell is rejected by his ex-fiancée and driven out by a town that no longer trusts him. With his friend Garry Lord, a struggling fisherman, he retreats to the river’s mouth to start anew—only to face new dangers when their livelihood is threatened by Red Mulligan’s use of illegal nets. Written by Gaylord Du Bois and illustrated by Morris Gollub, this 1953 adventure blends frontier grit with quiet resilience, all captured in a striking cover by Morris Gollub.
