Comic Story | Cowboy Saddles (1 page) |
Synopsis | Various cowboy saddles shown. |
Content | Genre: Non-fiction; Western-frontier |
Notes | Inside front cover.
Allison is credited to Charlton's Jesse James (unconfirmed) by Jerry Bails' Who's Who, but he is credited to over 20 stories in Cowboy Western, and comparing the art, this must be him too. JVJ also has him as artist. |
|
Comic Story | The Attack on Fort Spring (8 pages) |
Content | Genre: Western-frontier | Characters: Mickey Lawson; John Lawson; Sitting Bull |
Notes | JVJ has "Thompson ?" on this, but not very much like his two signed stories in New Heroic Comics #90. Another suggestion by JVJ is "more like Lee Ames", but he has hands with "interupted" lines between the fingers (Avon's "King Solomon's Mines"), and that is not present here. Inking here also has more black shadings. |
