Red Ryder Comics #66
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn the 1949 Western adventure "...and then I heard Slatsy say...," written by Gaylord Du Bois and illustrated by Bill Ely, young Jo and his friends find themselves caught in a mystery when a mysterious C-note turns up in Red Ryder’s saddle pack. With the sheriff accusing Red of a stagecoach robbery and murder, a clever twist unfolds as Jo pieces together clues—starting with a bear hide and a hidden quilt—unraveling a shocking deception. The story, brought to life with authentic period flair by cover artists Fred Harman, delivers a classic frontier tale where loyalty and quick thinking save the day.
In "null," Red Ryder rides two days south with Wheezy Bill to take on a tough outlaw gang, while Little Beaver urges Sheriff Newth to send a fearless posse in their pursuit. The trail leads deep into the frontier, where courage and quick thinking will be tested as the law closes in from behind.
In "Gold Stampede," Jo and her friends face a sudden surge of danger when a lone prospector is shot by the Selden gang near a rumored gold pocket. With the old man barely alive and muttering about treasure, the townsfolk of Alkali town descend into gold fever, racing toward Crowfoot Canyon. As the Kiyotees prepare to follow, they know it’s not just about fortune—it’s about stopping chaos before it erupts.
