Four Color #529

Dell's Four Color #529 brings the young Native American hero Little Beaver to the forefront in this 1954 ten-cent adventure. The cover sets an immediate scene of tension: Little Beaver, feathered headband and quiver of arrows on his back, presses himself against what appears to be a darkened doorframe or wooden structure, expression alert and watchful — while just behind him, a partially visible armed figure holds a revolver, hinting at the danger lurking nearby. With a story titled "The Train Robbery," this is Western adventure with a sharp edge, told through Dell's reliably vivid painted cover art.
