Tomahawk #33

From DC's long-running frontier series comes Tomahawk #33 (1955), featuring the lead story "The Paleface Tribe!" The cover by Fred Ray tells the tale right away: a group of Native American warriors unleash a volley of arrows at what appear to be marionette puppets of frontiersmen strung up among the trees, while the real buckskin-clad heroes crouch behind rocks in the foreground, one whispering to his companion, "Come on, Dan! Those puppets have fooled them — we can take them by surprise now!" It's a clever, action-packed setup that captures exactly the kind of resourceful wilderness ingenuity that made this DC series a staple of 1950s adventure comics.
