King of the Royal Mounted #5

In "The Menace of Half-Moon Island," writer Gaylord Du Bois and artist Alberto Giolitti deliver a taut, frontier-era mystery as old miner Joe Bass’s hidden gold map becomes the center of a dangerous game. When a girl and her friend attempt to steal the map from Constable Preston, their plan backfires—setting off a clever trap as Preston prepares a counterfeit to unmask the real thieves. The cover by Alberto Giolitti captures the island’s eerie isolation, perfectly framing the tension of a 1957 adventure where every clue could be a lie.
