DIXON OF THE MOUNTED
This character seems to have been created by E.T. Legault then taken over by T. A. Steele, and finally by René Kulbach. It was discontinued probably because Kulbach was inducted into the R.C.A.F.
The opening story, involves Dixon’s adventures in rescuing “Ruth Barton” the woman he loves from the clutches of a devil-like creature who turns out to be a “maniac criminal” known throughout the Yukon as “Mad Griffen.” The following stories are more standard R.C.M.P. action stories.
