In "Colonel I. T. Pryor," two explorers, Pete and Jim, stumble upon a jungle outpost ruled by the eccentric Bomar, a man convinced they’ve come to steal his treasure. When Bomar tumbles from a cliff, the duo discovers the gold he guarded—but the mystery of his obsession remains. Written by George Nagle and illustrated by Frank Frollo, with a cover by Bob Wood, this 1938 adventure blends suspense and eccentricity in a classic early comic tale.
