| Weird Comics Code censorship in the main story. |
|
| I wonder what kids made of this at the time. Thanks to the color it was clear there had been knives and guns. Action-wise readers would have known the weapons had been removed. But I presume most kids knew little about the Comics Code. They must have wondered what was going on. |

| Notes | Title is spelled "Iriquois" on the cover, but correctly on the story itself.
During a fight at the end, the weapons used (tomahawks and knives) and some of the dialogue has been edited out of the black printing plate, but not out of the color plates, making the story look odd (see http://digitalcomicmuseum.com/preview/index.php?did=7047&page=30 for an example). Possible that the story was first printed elsewhere before the comic code, also possible that this is the never-distributed Feature Stories Magazine (Fox, 1950 series) #4 (The Iroquois Trail) which sometimes appeared behind the cover of Blazing Comics (Rural Home, 1944 series) #5. |
