Disclose Notes: This story says El Bombo is from "tropical Tomalio," and has "Maya ancestors." In future stories his home country is identified as Guatemala.
Some sources suggest this feature is newspaper comic strip reprints, but this can not be confirmed. While Bernard Dibble did draw newspaper comics, he also produced original material for the United Features comic books.
Signed "Dib" in the last panel.
