A 1953 adventure from Dell’s Four Color #501, this story follows Francis and Pete after they take a job on a freighter that lands them in Africa. When Francis is condemned to death by a sheik for being “full of evil spirits,” Pete devises a daring escape using nothing but paint and a mule, turning the animal into a zebra-like illusion. Drawn with bold, expressive lines by Don Gunn, the tale blends suspense and whimsy in a classic, high-stakes survival scenario.
