    Stories and art by Al Liederman and Bill Woolfolk. Silent-movie cowboy Tom Mix became a pop-culture icon with his 1940s radio show and this tie-in comic. Tom tracks a mad killer who hacks off his victims' hands. This disturbing (but not gory) pre-Code story was mentioned in the text (pp. 323-325) of the anti-comics classic Seduction of the Innocent. Tom opens his doors to strangers who need refuge, but they're actually outlaws who take him hostage and raid his larder. The constant "gunplay" in Big Boulder makes crossing the street a life-threatening decision, but one man wants to stop the madness. Tom tries to keep his friend's son "Spurs" from hanging out with gambler Giant Todd, but Spurs tells him to mind his own business. Plus a vintage ad for the Tom Mix radio show, and Tom Mix glow-in-the-dark spurs! Homicidal Hospitality; A Tale of the Lonesome Cowboy; Hands Off; Cowboy Cal; Saddlehead; Indian Lore; Stranger in the Night; The Tragedy of Joe Miller; Tumbleweed Jr.: The Bucking Bronco; Round Up Time with Tom Mix; The Song of the Deadly Spurs. 48 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10. Grade: CGC 9.0 explanation of grade Condition: Used (collectible)
