Four Color #1130

Dell's "Exciting Adventure" line brought the hit TV Western The Deputy to comics in this 1960 photo-cover issue, featuring Henry Fonda and Allen Case posed on a wagon in full frontier gear — Fonda's hand hovering near his holstered sidearm, Case looking coolly alert beside him. Inside, John Buscema's artwork brings "The Gold Killers" to life, promising the kind of rugged frontier action that made the show a favorite. At a still-dime cover price, this is a genuine slice of 1960 Western pop culture.
