Notes: New story. Porky comments that “Hemo” is a bit of an unusual name, to which the captain replies “Well, it’s really Captain Blood! But history already had a character by that name, so I changed my name to Hemo!” Both good art and snappy dialogue make this story superior to the average 1970s Western Publishing fare.
