There, in 1204, a spitting image of Dr. Sommerville as a Sachem is falsely accused of stealing the tablets and he gives the real tablets back to his own time, and they are presented to Dr. Sommervell and Mr. Dumm, as well as having Slippery Sam and the Red Gang arrested for plotting to steal the tablets.

Indexer Notes

Art was previously attributed to Munson Paddock, but the art is distinctly different from the Buck Saunders art in Headline Comics #13-18 (1945-1946), which more closely resembles Paddock’s general style, such as his use of big eyes, long noses, and starry visuals for energetic movement.
