In "Clearing the Field," a 1954 Four Color comic, Big Dan Dunkel escapes prison and stumbles upon the Scouts' campground, where his uncanny resemblance to Scoutmaster Johnson sets off a tense game of deception. With all three roles—artist, inker, and cover artist handled by Don Gunn—this issue blends suspense and mistaken identity in a classic, straight-to-the-point tale.
