Additional Information
 
PublicationFebruary 1953 | Price: 0.10 USD | Pages: 1 | Frequency: quarterly
NotesPencils/inks/colors: The burro is similar to one he painted on the cover of Lone Ranger #20 note the placement of the ears. Gollub's reference material for the burro drawings came from a year he spent in South Dakota studying the animals in Custer State Park. The wild burros have been there for a very long time and are fondly referred to as "begging burros" today, because they eagerly approach vehicles in the park looking for handouts. Gollub did a year in the park making wild animal drawings for the St Louis Natural History Museum in 1935.
