John Wayne Adventure Comics #22

When a catastrophic rainstorm threatens to breach a dam above Blakesville, John Wayne races to warn the townspeople and farmers in the valley below of the impending disaster. As the dam gives way, Wayne finds himself battling the raging floodwaters and their aftermath—rescuing a stranded baby, stopping looters, and helping those trapped by the deluge. It's a desperate fight against nature's fury and human greed in this 1953 adventure.

John Wayne arrives in the kingdom of Banmadore at the invitation of his old Korean War comrade Prince Syed, only to discover the Prince has been kidnapped by a terrorist group called the Masks of the Tiger—who are demanding the Rajah's throne as ransom. With help from Hussein, a young animal boy who works in the royal zoo, Wayne must navigate a web of danger and deception to locate the hidden Prince before the terrorists can carry out their deadly plans.

Cochise, a Chiricahua Apache chief whose tribe lived peacefully in Arizona's Dragoon Mountains, declares war on white settlers in 1860 after being falsely accused of a raid and insulted by a cavalry officer. For twelve years, Cochise wages fierce warfare against the U.S. Army, raiding settlements and wagon trains from his mountain stronghold, until a brave stageline owner named Tom Jeffords rides alone to negotiate peace, earning the chief's respect and friendship. Their bond ultimately leads to a treaty and a legacy of honor that outlasts them both.
