I read mostly SF and superhero comics and books, but I've read some Zane Grey, JT Edson and Max Brand and liked them. Never read Luke Short though - I'll read the comic and maybe get into the books.

This looks like John Prentice, particularly since one of the characters is a dead-ringer for 'Desmond' from Rip Kirby

Art by Bob Correa, who swiped liberally from Prentice, Raymond, Kinstler, and multiple magazine artists. (And that's just for starters.) In another comic Desmond reappears as an Indian!
