Sports Action #6
"Bronko Nagurski" in Sports Action #6 (1951) delivers a gritty, early sports tale centered on Tuzo, a man pulled from the Amazon to compete as a wrestler. Drawn by Myron Fass, the story follows his rise in the ring and his defiant stand when faced with corruption—refusing to throw a match, then confronting those who tried to buy his defeat. The cover by Sol Brodsky captures the raw intensity of the moment, a 10-cent comic that packs a punch in its simple, powerful storytelling.
