It's kind of a negative calling card for an editor-in-chief to allow the cover art on a magazine to flaunt the ignorance of his staff of book editors, story writers, and researchers by having a book about an Apache chieftan wear a full war bonnet of eagle feathers, when only tribes of The USA's Great Plains wore such headgear. The Apaches lived in the deserts of Arizona and western and southern New Mexico, as well as the Mexican state of Sonora, and whose warriors rarely wore feathers on their heads, and when they did, it was usually only one. I and all my friends knew this at age 7, and we were neither US citizens nor residents. How did an editor of a Mexican book about Native Americans (whose job it is to know, and who probably sat through endless Mexican history courses, in several years of public school, not know that? Or was this book from a publisher in Spain, or a different Latin American country, other than Mexico? I understand that most US Western genre publishers also made this same mistake after attending 12 years of US public school, and should have known better. But, it just shows the laxity in professionalism, and low budgets and profit margins in the comic book industry.

The comic is a Spanish publication from 1958 drawn by Luis Ramos Santos. Publisher is listed as Gestion? Ramos drew some Davy Crockett strips which were published in various titles in various countries

Thanks Paw, there seems to be no indicia stating the publisher's name and location on this book. Maybe that page is missing? It being a publication from Spain explains the lack of knowledge of a well-known Native Mexican tribe. Most of Mexico's population are Mestizos, or full-blooded, Native Mexicans. So, one would think they would know some obvious details about their indigenous tribes. The Spanish, on the other hand, glorified the conquest of their colonial empire, and their historians, on the whole, took little interest in paying attention to the details of the pre-conquest details of the indigenous tribes' lifestyles.

Lack of indicia, or very little info at all, is a common problem for those of us researching these comics. Sometimes the page with info simply hasn't been scanned, other times the info hasn't been included. Some Spanish and old, smaller British publishers give us all the same problem. Sites such as Aquellos Inolvidables Tebeos are a big help for those looking for info.
