Buster Brown #17

Buster Brown Comics #17 Buster Brown encounters adventures with Smilin' Ed in a circus setting, where Ed is tossed by a surprised elephant, taught to jump on its back, and nearly burned when ring performers set fire to horses—resulting in Ed and his white dog being thrown through flames. The issue also features a story involving Hassan's camp where the Great Sheik disguises himself with black dye to infiltrate the camp, leading to a confrontation with Baba and Tuareg warriors over a white stallion, and a separate adventure aboard a ship where characters discover a mysterious creature that escapes and a small boat cradled on the after-deck.
