A-1 Comics: A Retrospective #145

Jun 2016 · Boardman Books · [none]
“The Trail of the Rocket!”

A 2016 Boardman Books retrospective collecting Golden Age Bobby Benson adventures, this Volume One gathers a wealth of A-1 Comics material under one cover by Frank Frazetta — showing young Bobby and a spirited group of cowboys charging forward on horseback, dust flying as they ride with lively determination. The featured story, "The Trail of the Rocket!," comes courtesy of artist and inker Bob Powell, whose work defined the look of these western tales. It's a fine package for anyone who loves the energy and optimism of mid-century western comics.
