That is just amazing. Does Craig Yoe know about this one? Not only does Cowboy Sahib NOT take place in the Old West, it actually takes place in World War II (even though it was published in 1952). I figured somehow the hero would turn out to be an 1870s cowboy somehow displaced to the setting of British colonial India. But no -- he's actually a crack American fighter pilot from Wyoming, Joe "Cowboy" King, who gets sent to India for some reason.

Actually, though the story opens during WWII, on page 5 the war is over and the rest of the story takes place in "the present." But I'll put up with all sorts of nonsense to get that sweet Leonard Starr artwork.

Edit: Here's a funny coincidence. In the first issue of Temerson's <i> Cat-Man Comics</i> (May 1941) we meet Hurricane Harrigan, an American cowboy who fights bad guys in India. In one panel he's addressed as "Sahib Cowboy." Close, anyway. Doesn't ride any tigers, though.
