Duncan & Mallory: The Bar-None Ranch

The Bar-None Ranch is a lighthearted, all-ages western comic from the Donning Company, launched in 1987 with a single issue. Created by writer Bob Fujitani and artist Frank Miller, it follows the adventures of a young boy named Duncan and his talking horse, Mallory, as they navigate life on a ranch. Though brief, this series stands out for its charming, kid-friendly take on the Old West, blending humor and wholesome storytelling in a style reminiscent of classic newspaper strips. Its limited run makes it a curious footnote in the careers of its creators, offering a glimpse into a more playful side of the medium.
