☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume revisits the classic Western adventure strip from A-1 Comics, collecting the Bobby Benson stories originally featured in issue #145 of the series. It follows the young cowboy and his sidekicks, including the Lemonade Kid and Tex Mason, as they ride the range with his loyal companion Dad. A nostalgic look at a mid-century comic favorite, this edition is part of Boardman Books' retrospective series on A-1 Comics.
In "The Trail of the Rocket!", the desert heat hides a dangerous secret as Mexican spies exploit a gap in the border fence—created by the legendary King Smokey—to steal U.S. hydrogen bomb plans. With the help of the quick-witted Lemonade Kid, King Smokey races to stop the theft before it’s too late. Bob Powell’s dynamic art brings the high-stakes chase to life, while Frank Frazetta’s iconic cover captures the story’s bold, adventurous spirit.
