Confederate Comics GRAY GHOST "Point of Honor" Part 1

A Civil War Confederate Guerilla with His Own TV Series?
Yep, it happened...
...and here's a story from the two-issue comic book based on it!
To be Concluded
FRIDAY
at our 'brother" RetroBlog, Secret Sanctum of Captain Video!
The series portrayed Mosby as a Robin Hood-type rogue who just happened to serve the Confederacy.
He's shown to be a man of honor and moral conviction, and the matter of the actual reasons for the Civil War is never addressed!
This never-reprinted tale from Dell's Four Color Comics #911 (1958) is illustrated by Ray Bailey and George Woodbridge, who later became a regular contributor to MAD Magazine.
The adaptation's writer, however, is unknown...
The story is adapted from Ep 3 of the 39-episode TV series!
Sadly, little physical evidence exists of the 1957 all-but-forgotten syndicated show besides the two issues of Dell's Four Color Comics!
Trivia: the best-known performer (to the contemporary audience) in this episode was Angie Dickenson as Edie!
