Notes: The cover caption "Super Goof ...untwists the twisters and tames the wild west" is directly taken from its original printing in Super Goof (Western, 1962 Series) #5 (December 1966).

"Untwists the twisters" refers to the story "The Twister Resisters" which is reprinted in this issue.

"Tames the wild west" refers to the story "Best in the West" which is not reprinted in this issue, but was the backup story in Super Goof #5. This portion of the text was simply not removed for this reprint of the cover.

The Twister Resisters

Story on Interior Page(s) from base issue

Subject Matter

Genres: anthropomorphic, superhero

Character(s): Super Goof [Goofy]; Super Gilbert [Gilbert] (first appearance); The Beagle Boys (splash-page cameo only); police desk sergeant; construction workers; angry man in window; newsboy; paper-purchasing pedestrian; first farmer; first farmer's wife; wind-imperiled chickens; second farmer; Dr. Ruah (mad scientist and unscrupulous land-grabber)

First Line: Super Goof has done a superb job of stamping out crime...

Synopsis: After a few super-power related mishaps, Super Goof accidently reveals his secret identity as Goofy to genius nephew Gilbert. The pair conclude Super Goof needs to augment his brawn with brain so Goofy invites his brainy nephew to swallow a Super Goober and become “Super Gilbert”. The “Super-Twosome” plan works well and, after defeating a mad scientist who creates man-made twisters to level and devalue the surrounding countryside into “cheap land acquisitions”, Super Goof and Super Gilbert (later called “Super Gilly”) become a regular recurring team for the rest of the Western Publishing run.
