Now, you may be saying, "Well, four screw-ups over a million years isn't too bad." Except, A) Four that we know of, and B) since two of those screw-ups lead to murderers and dictators wandering the Earth, those are some pretty substantial goofs, and cost uncounted millions of lives, as we shall see!!
So, Kid and Keeper go looking for this lieutenant...
So who you gonna call?!?
Given that our African is certainly drawn more like an indigenous South American, I think either the artist wasn't informed, or the writer changed his mind halfway through, or editors stunk as much back then as they do today.
Still, knowledgeable about curare or not, Stanley knows how to fight a blow-gun!
Well, you could try calling him back and grilling him for more information...but since Kid can't force people to help him, that might be fruitless. Fortunately, Keeper seems to be a bit of an ethnologist:
Still, our unnamed Million Year Old Man has been pretty busy over the aeons...
Meanwhile...it's battle time! And the bad guys are winning!
He leaves Kid in a death trap. But fortunately, a million years on this Earth haven't taught him how to tie a gag securely!
Now, how will Kid finally put an end to King Ancient Guy?
This was the 58th Kid Eternity story, and our standing are...

Rogers' Rangers also seem to be wearing World War I-era doughboy helmets for some reason.
Did Kid summon Rogers' Rangers, or only Colonel Rogers himself?
The guys in the WWI-type helmets may be the troopers who were getting ambushed, and then Kid summoned Rogers, who took command and organized the counter-attack.
Anonymous--both times Kid has summoned Rogers' Rangers, he has summoned the whole group...
