Here's a story of "evil Indians" that almost makes Jack Cole's "Great Warrior" tale from PLASTIC MAN look classy: a rebellious tribe called "the Waquos" (Yaquis, maybe?) wants to expel the whites from their land. To this end they revive a big clay idol called "Yaho" (as in "Yahoo," I guess), which causes some limited havoc until the Black Condor sets things right.
Not only do the storytellers basically steal the idea of the clay idol from the Jewish idea of the Golem, the Waquos are given the noses of cartoon dogs for some reason. Maybe the artist, identified as one Charles Sultan, was just in an antic mood at the time, but the overall effect is pretty repulsive. From CRACK COMICS #7 (1940).
