Cowboy Western #61

Charlton's Cowboy Western #61 arrives in 1956 as the official tie-in to the Wild Bill Hickok TV show, and Maurice Whitman's cover sets a confident frontier tone — a fringed-buckskin-clad Hickok stands tall atop a rocky outcrop, rifle in hand, with a scowling, pistol-toting figure in a checkered shirt crouching warily beside him. The pairing of these two figures hints at uneasy alliances and frontier tension, perfectly teasing the issue's story, "The Crooked Wheel." At just a dime, this Comics Code–approved Charlton package delivers the rugged appeal of the Old West alongside the bonus feature Jungles, making it a well-rounded read for any fan of 1950s Western adventure.
