Davy Crockett #3

Charlton's New Adventures of Davy Crockett, Frontier Fighter #3 from 1955 presents the King of the Wild Frontier in confident, trail-hardened form — seated with his long rifle in hand, coonskin cap firmly in place, and a steady gaze that says he's ready for whatever the frontier throws at him, with cover art penciled by Dick Giordano and inked by Vince Alascia. Three inset panels along the right side hint at action-packed encounters ahead, including close-quarters struggles that suggest the interior story "Patched Moccasin" — written by Joe Gill and illustrated by Bill Molno and Sal Trapani — keeps the adventure moving at a brisk pace. At a dime a copy, this Charlton publication delivered frontier excitement with a creative team that clearly took pride in bringing America's most celebrated backwoodsman to the comics page.
