Cowboy Western #56

A rugged gunslinger takes center stage on this 1955 Charlton release, pistol drawn outside a saloon while figures lurk in the shadowy background — the kind of tense standoff that defined the golden age of Western comics. Dick Giordano's cover pencils, inked by Vince Alascia, give the scene a sharp, dynamic energy, with the "Wild Bill Hickok" and "Annie Oakley" portraits adding extra frontier flavor. With Joe Gill writing and the story title "Don't Be My Sidekick!" promising some friction between partners, this ten-cent package delivers classic Western excitement.
