gojira Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 e.g. Thanks for sharing. The Maxwell Elkan art looks great. I wasn't familiar with his stuff. I just checked GCD and there is a Toth story called Case of the Terrified Tenderfoot in that issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

damonwad Posted November 22, 2014 Author Share Posted November 22, 2014 I finally got the last issue I needed of the 4 issue Avon Geronimo series. I started buying them because I liked the Kinstler covers but was pleasantly surprised with the interiors. Each issue has 2 or 3 Geronimo stories and a reprint from an issue of Cow Puncher. You can pretty much get the tone of the stories just based on the titles of the comics. Issue #1. 3 Maneely Geronimo stories and a poorly drawn story from Cow Puncher #1. The first Maneely story is an "origin" of Geronimo's hatred of the whites and Mexicans. The splash from the first Maneely story. This must have been an early morning raid since the woman never had a chance to finish buttoning her dress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damonwad Posted November 22, 2014 Author Share Posted November 22, 2014 Issue #2. Cover by Kinstler. 3 Geronimo stories (one by Kinstler) and a reprint from Cow Puncher #4 (Devil's Scourge). I enjoyed the Geronimo stories but the "Devil's Scourge" really stood out. A story about someone dressing as the devil and scaring settler families out of their cabins. Indians would then come out of hiding and suffocate the settlers to death with pillows (women and children too). The dead settlers would then have a "devil's hand print" branded on their chest and be propped up around their dinner table. This was done to try to scare the hell out of the whites that would find them and get them to leave the territory. The "pillow scene" from the "Devil's Scourge".

damonwad Posted November 22, 2014 Author Share Posted November 22, 2014 Issue #3. Cover by Kinstler. 2 Kinstler Geronimo stories and one story by Leonard Starr about Mangus Colorado (another Apache chief). A Cow Puncher #6 reprint based on The Murders In the Rue Morgue. Inside front cover by Kinstler. Splash from the first Kinstler story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damonwad Posted November 22, 2014 Author Share Posted November 22, 2014 Issue #4. Cover by Kinstler. 3 Geronimo stories by Gerald McCann and a reprint from Cow Puncher #5. Mainly due to McCann's art, this is my least favorite of the 4 issue run. McCann is a poor man's version of Kinstler. Similar style but much lower quality and the people in his stories have some very odd, distorted facial features. I enjoy it in a quirky way though. Inside front cover by Kinstler. Here's the splash from the Cow Puncher reprint. The woman was about to be burned alive in a forest fire but was saved just in the nick of time. But not before in burned her shirt off. She proceeds through the story in her burnt shirt with exposed bra (17 different panels) until the final panel shows her with a new shirt on. It made me laugh when she didn't even change clothes while in town the next day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
