Hickory #1 (1949) kicks off with Dewey guiding two bewildered tourists to what they assume is a bar—only to find themselves in the middle of a wild, unexpected encounter with hillbillies and their peculiar use of the word "bar" to mean "bear." Written, drawn, and inked by Bernard Dibble, this early Quality Comics tale blends rural humor and suspense with a touch of Southern charm. The cover by Harry Sahle captures the moment with a striking, slightly ominous flair.

Dewey leads two tourists to a "bar"--they think it's a place to get a drink, but "bar" is the way hillbillies say "bear." An unpleasant surprise for the outsiders.
