Bob Younger

Bob Younger was a real-life member of the notorious Younger outlaw gang of the post-Civil War American frontier, depicted here riding alongside Jesse James, Cole Younger, and other legendary Western desperados in Avon's frontier-adventure comics.

Riding out of the Golden Age in 1951, Bob Younger made his comics debut in Jesse James #5 under the pencil of the legendary Joe Kubert, bringing one of the Old West's most notorious real-life outlaws to the four-color page. Published by Avon, he rides through the catalog in the company of Frank and Jesse James, Cole Younger, and other figures of frontier legend — a who's-who of Western outlaw lore. His appearances stretch a remarkable 39 years across titles like Jesse James and Outlaws of the Wild West, a testament to the enduring romance of the Wild West in American comics. With Kubert's hand behind his debut, even a handful of appearances makes Bob Younger a genuine collector's curiosity.
