Four Color #657

Dell's frontier adventure series puts Ben Bowie and a fellow mountain man front and center as they battle churning white-water rapids in a canoe loaded with gear, rifles in hand and determination on their faces. The cover art captures the raw tension of two rugged woodsmen fighting the current — every stroke of the paddle feels urgent against that dark, foaming river. For a dime in 1955, "The Dangerous Coast" promises exactly the kind of no-frills wilderness action that made Dell's western titles such a reliable thrill.
