In the first issue of 1964 the red Indian Strongbow
the Mighty and his pale-faced mate Hawkeye the Hunter helped the rightful ruler
in his struggle against a ruthless tyrant who had seized power in the valley.
The splash panel on the cover of the second
issue of January 1964 featured Mike Kane and his mystic Gladiator ancestor who

some serious wild beasts after a circus convoy crashed due to the reckless
driving of a villain named Lopez.
The evil scientist Capek was still facing
trouble from the victims of his experiments who were very eager to undo the
magic of the villain’s shrinking tricks that turned them into midgets.
The splash panel on the last issue of
January 1964 featured Maxwell Hawke and depicted the moment when a giant
gorilla flung Hawke’s pretty girl assistant Jill off the top of the bell tower.
The ghost hunter arrowed down to the murky waters below to save her but they
immediately found themselves in another situation when a menacing spectre
appeared out of nowhere and set the water alight with his gleaming sword. Those
stories were a ceaseless sequence of cliff-hangers…
As I
explained in my introduction to this series HERE, I started it hoping perhaps
it will attract the attention of BUSTER collectors with spare copies of the
title and they’ll help me fill my few remaining gaps. Please, contact me via
e-mail if you have copies to sell or swap and don’t mind shipping abroad because
I am not in the UK. I have 25 – 30 spare copies from the early 60s and might
help fill some of your gaps, so e-mail me for a list and details about
condition. See my blogger profile for the address.
