Ger Apeldoorn: Story Information
Notes: On page four the last panel of the page seems to have been redrawn. And turning over the page, I saw the top tier of the last page wasn't by C.F. Miller either, but by Joe Maneely. Although it is late to occur, this seems to be a comic code demanded story change. In the story Two Gun Kid is following a gang of thiefs. The hole up in a log cabin. That's when the redrawn sequence starts. Two-Gun Kid sees a bees nest in a tree nearby and throws it into the log cabin. The thieves come running out and are captured. In the first Miller drawn panel after the redrawn sequence, bee stings have been added to their faces. What the original sequence was, is unclear. It can't have been too violent, since they are captured either way. Maybe it was the same, but had to be redrawn for logic or clearness of storytelling. What we need here is one of those black and white reprints from Britain or Australia, that sometimes seemed to use stats of the pages bfore they were sent to the comic code. - Ger A.
