Ed Dodd / Tom Hill - Mark Trail 10.10.72 Are you a Gurley-Man?

Sometimes a bit of a sedentary Mark Trail strip, it could turn up the heat, as in this Mark Trail – “Wild Horses” – 10/10/1972 serial! 

A classic early‘’70s Mark Trail adventure blending Western drama with wildlife conservation. Mark and Scotty arrive on the range to investigate reports of disturbed mustang herds. They meet "Bronco Betsy" a cowgirl comitted to what's right on the range.

Crackling action explodes when Betsy snaps her head toward the ridge and recognizes the real devils behind the stampede: the Gurley Brothers, riding hard and dirty, whipping the herd into chaos for a fast payday. In an instant the chase turns electric — Scotty's suspicions ignite, the mustangs surge in panic, and Betsy becomes the spark that blows the Gurleys’ scheme wide open. So, gotta ask, are you a Gurley man???

Tom Hill’s inks to Dodd's pencil punch with raw motion and frontier grit, that feels like a still frame ripped from a Western thriller.

Give it a love, give it a like!
