Captain Gallant #3

Sand dunes stretch beneath a tense desert standoff on this 1956 Charlton issue, with a determined Captain Gallant raising his weapon while young Cuffy holds his ground behind him — all as armed adversaries close in from below. The cover, penciled by Charles Nicholas and inked by Sal Trapani, captures the rugged Foreign Legion spirit that made the Buster Crabbe TV tie-in such an appealing package for mid-1950s readers. Three all-new stories, including "The Treasure of Tehran Bey," promise plenty of desert adventure from the real-life father-and-son team of Buster Crabbe and Cuffy.
