COVER DETAILS

Characters: Red Ryder; Little Beaver

Pencils: John Hampton ? [as Fred Harman](signed)

Inks: John Hampton ? [as Fred Harman](signed)

Notes: Cover signed Fred Harman, but he used ghost writers as well as artists in the comic books. This looks most like Hampton.

STORY DETAILS

(4 Stories)

Title: "You two don't git lost, now..."

Characters: Red Ryder; Little Beaver; Sheriff Newt; Auntie Duchess; J.J. (banker); Sol Tatum; Daw (rustler); Buckle (rustler); Monk (rustler)

Synopsis: Autie Duchess has bought wild cows and Red and Little Beaver are going to round them up, but some ranchhand-rustlers are aiming to do something about that.

Pages: 16.000

Pencils: John Hampton

Inks: John Hampton ?

Notes: After all the Fred Harman newspaper stories had been reprinted in the Red Ryder comic book, the new stories in the book were ghosted by several artists. One was John Hampton, and the art here is much similar to his Kiyotee Kid story in #40, except for the heavy inking. Art ID by Steinar Ådland January 2011.

Title: "Whooee! That heap big ranch..."

Characters: Red Ryder; Little Beaver; Sheriff Newt; Pecos; Blain (villain); Miss Kitty; Hack; Cheyenne; Cyclone (horse)

Pages: 16.000

Pencils: John Hampton

Inks: John Hampton ?

Notes: After all the Fred Harman newspaper stories had been reprinted in the Red Ryder comic book, the new stories in the book were ghosted by several artists. One was John Hampton, and the art here is quite similar to his Kiyotee Kid story in #40, except for the heavy inking. Art ID by Steinar Ådland January 2011.

Pages: 2.000

Script: Fred Harman (signed)

Pencils: Bill Lignante [as Fred Harman](signed)

Inks: Bill Lignante [as Fred Harman](signed)

Letters: typeset

Notes: The mountains and clouds are identical to those in #89, same series, so this could be Lignante. He is credited to Red Ryder in Jerry Bails' Who's Who. Art ID by Steinar Ådland January 2011.

Title: "Hurry up, Little Beaver..."

Characters: Little Beaver; Po-ko; Prof. Adams; Teacher; Buck; Chief Big Hand

Synopsis: The Professor will pay $100 to anyone who can capture a young mountain lion and deliver it to him in a cage and unhurt.

Pages: 12.000

Notes: Notice the teacher has a very big head compared to her body, and the kid Buck on page 2 has two round circles as eyes. This might be clues to the artist.
