Wrangler
Riding into comics in 1954 courtesy of the legendary Gardner Fox and artist Frank Bolle, Wrangler is a Golden Age western character whose debut in Tim Holt #41 planted roots in one of the era's most beloved ranges of cowboy adventure. Though the catalog trail is modest, the company this character keeps is anything but β sharing pages with Tim Holt, Black Phantom, and Redmask puts Wrangler squarely in the heart of classic western comics royalty. AC Comics' later stewardship, stretching the character's published presence across nearly half a century into 2000, speaks to the enduring affection collectors hold for this corner of the genre. For fans of frontier-era funnybooks and the golden days of the six-gun western, Wrangler is a genuine piece of the puzzle worth tracking down.
