Bob Colt

Bob Colt is a Golden Age cowboy hero who rides the Western frontier alongside fellow legends of the range. A classic sagebrush champion, he embodies the straight-shooting heroism of mid-century Western comics.

Riding straight out of the Golden Age, Bob Colt made his debut in 1951 courtesy of creator Bob McCarty, carving out a place in the sun-baked world of Western comics that AC would keep alive for a remarkable stretch spanning over five decades. He's the kind of cowboy hero who shares his frontier with a stellar roster of Western legends — Lash LaRue, Rocky Lane, and Monte Hale among them — which speaks to the rarefied company this character keeps. Collectors with a soft spot for classic sagebrush adventure will find him turning up in titles like Bob Colt, Cowboy Hero Annual, and Best of the West Big B Western Special, making him a genuine piece of Golden Age Western nostalgia worth tracking down.
