In this 1944 Four Color adventure, crop-dusting pilot Jack and his partner Downwind face off against Gumbo Grabber, a rival operator with a grudge—and the uncle of Joy Beaverduck, who’s still recovering from an accident at his plantation. When two men vanish under suspicious circumstances, Jack digs into the mystery, only to be captured and trapped in a cotton baler by Grabber’s twisted plan. Just as all seems lost, Joy arrives in the nick of time, accidentally knocking Jack out with a crowbar before taking down Grabber herself—sending him tumbling into the very machine meant to destroy Jack. Written, drawn, inked, and lettered by Zack Mosley, this pulpy, action-packed tale blends rural adventure with a touch of slapstick, all captured in a striking cover by Boody Rogers.
