Having been adapted from a novel the story is more complex and involves more characters than your typical comic story. The writer (Paul S. Newman if I'm not mistaken) does a great job of keeping things understandable, and Everett Raymond Kinstler's art is perfect. An excellent book.

Four Color #534 seems like one of those Kunstler books that has some involvement by Joe Kubert.

I can see why you say that, thanks for pointing it out. I don't think Kubert did very much work for Dell tho, so maybe he helped out in the studio. It was not unknown for artists to help each other out by ghosting when a friend had a deadline to meet. These Dell Haycock westerns are all gems.

I respectfully disagree that Kubert was involved in this or O.S. 640 (another "Western Marshal"). Is there an interview somewhere that says he worked with Everett Kinstler? I have great admiration for Kinstler but I also acknowledge that he swiped like crazy in his comic book work. Check out the Kubert stories in Avon's "Jesse James," for example. You'll see that Kinstler not only was influenced artistically by Kubert, he also lifted tons of Kubert figures, even whole panels, for his own westerns. Looking at the totality of his Dell work, I'd say these "Western Marshal" comics were both pencilled and inked by Kinstler.
