The Mucker The Mucker: Spawned by the slum jungles of Chicago, Billy Byrne was a vicious animal -- ruthless, powerful and blood thirsty. Before long, his natural ability for finding trouble left him shipwrecked in a Far East jungle where he was free to unleash the savage nature that was his only chance for survival.
The Return of the Mucker: The Mucker spent his life fighting. He fought his way out of the worst of Chicago's slums, he fought his way out of a jail sentence for a murder he didn't commit. Then, forced to fight for his freedom, destiny led him through a startling series of further adventures to Mexico -- and a fight for his life in the middle of a bloody revolution. Like two thieves they crept along in the shadow of the canyon wall. Inwardly Billy cursed the darkness of the night which hid from view everything more than a few paces from them. Yet it might have been this very darkness which would help save them, since it hid them as effectually from an enemy as it hid the enemy from them.

J. ALLEN ST. JOHN ART

McClurg First Edition: Bruce Wood's ERB Jacket Store

Byrne, escaping the furious cut of the parang, leaped to the savage Malay's neck.

Horrified, the girl realized she was in the clutches of fierce warriors of a long-dead age.

The Mexican leaped into the arroyo, running for his life like a frightened jackrabbit.

I'm hit, said Eddie, unemotionally, as Billy Byrne's revolver answered the shot from above.
