Wow! Beautiful lead story by Dan Barry and Murphy Anderson, an equally-fine solo Anderson job and a George Tuska story to top it off. Artwise it's class all the way! |

Comic Story | The Law of the Colt (11 pages) |
Featuring | The Hawk |
Content | Genre: Western-frontier | Characters: The Hawk [Marshal Bob Hardie]; Lobo Moreno; Luellen Beadle; Gopher Beadle; Slash Caldwell; Bud Beadle |
Notes | Pencils originally credited to John Buscema. Barry and Anderson are credited by JVJon at Digital Comics Museum.
The horse's head of Buscema is much shorter and broader than here, as can be seen in Roy Rogers #80. Buscema had stiffer people and very close fitting costumes this early, which can also be seen in Roy Rogers. Notice the head of the girl on page 3, especially the inking of her hair with many short penlines, and you have Murphy Anderson. Dan Barry and Murphy Anderson are both credited to this series in Jerry Bails' Who's Who. |
