Tanya's gun has also been eliminated in panel 2, but not in panel 4. 5) On page 9, Tanya's speech bubble stating "Drop him into the quicksand! He'll be swallowed up without a trace" has been eliminated. Also, the stick that Pete Trask is hit with on the back of the head has been redrawn to just being hit with a fist. 6) Also on page 9, the native's "The quicksand will suck him down quickly!" has been replaced with "Come! We've no time to lose!" 7) Throughout the story the very yellow skin-tones of the natives have been re-coloured with more natural ones. |
