Davy Crockett #1

Charlton's 1955 series launches with a cover that puts Davy Crockett — clad in his signature fringed buckskin and coonskin cap — crouching low with rifle in hand as arrows pierce the ground around him and mounted warriors charge through billowing smoke behind him. The tension in his expression and the chaos surrounding him set the stage perfectly for the issue's "Indian Attack" story within. Cover art by Mike Roy and Mike Peppe captures the rugged frontier energy that made Crockett one of the most exciting figures in mid-1950s popular culture.
