it
The Western frontier was often the haven for hunted men who
flaunted the law and rode roughshod through the territory . .
.
Tom Brewster, experiencing the wrath
of such men, dealt with them as the
need might be . . . using fists when the
cause warranted fists . . .
&
And guns . .when the
language was guns,
but always he backed
his actions with the
power of the law books
that he studied!

The Dell Trademark U, and always
has been, a positive guarantee that
the comic magazine: bearing it con-
tains only clean and wholesome
entertainment. The Dell code elimi-
nates entirely, rather than regulates,
objectionable material. Thai's why
when your child buys a Dell Comic
you can be sure it contains only good
fun,
"dell comics are good comics"
is our only credo and constant goal.

HANDLE
TO
LIVE BY...
Somewhere along- the pioneer trail, the words "mister" and
"sir" bogged down. The West became a social, democratic
leveler for American society where a settler with any identi-
fying characteristic soon earned a nickname... just as Tom
Brewster's easy manner drew the name "Sugarfoot."

Fellows in business were often tagged with
names relating to their occupation, such as
Bedbug Issacs ... he was an exterminator.
And Snowshoe Sam packed the mail across
the frozen mountains to miners and settlers.
Often the first foreigner in camp was sim-
ply called China Boy, Frenchy, or Dutch.
One manwith an unpronounceable name was
just "the new man," until he acquired the
last name of Newman and became a citizen.
Physical characteristics distinguished some
folk. Gold-Tooth McGraw hoarded his
wealth in his bridgewnrk, and Sawed-OfT
Nevada was so short he could not be seen
in a crowd unless held aloft by his friends.
Personal feats were base for nicknames . . .
as Bull's-Eye Eddie and Dead-Shot Frisco.
The man most confused by these tags was
the stage driver who tried to deliver a letter
to John Jones, known only as Stubby John.

"Days like this were over when I fi-
nally caught up with that wild herd of
horses . . . and the big black stallion . .
.
"I pawned a year of my life and
wages, for the chance to break and
own that fiery bronc . . ,
"And then I found I had to fight to keep
him, even though he was branded a killer!"
