Cannonball Calhoun

A rugged frontier figure who rode into comics during the Silver Age, Cannonball Calhoun made his debut in Tomahawk #95 in 1964, courtesy of creators Ed Herron and Fred Ray. His adventures placed him in colorful company — sharing pages with Tomahawk, Brass Buttons, Frenchie Duval, and Big Anvil — a lively cast that speaks to the era's love of bold, larger-than-life frontier tales. With appearances spanning both Tomahawk and the Australian publisher K. G. Murray's Superman Presents Wonder Comic Monthly, Calhoun's brief catalog footprint makes him a genuine rarity, the kind of deep-cut discovery that reminds collectors just how wide and wonderful the Silver Age frontier genre truly was.
