Gene Autry and Champion

Atlas Publications’ 1962 comic series Gene Autry and Champion pairs the singing cowboy and his loyal horse in a short three-issue run of Western adventures. While the series is brief, it captures the wholesome, action-packed spirit of Autry’s film and television persona, a beloved figure in mid-century Americana. The title is a niche but charming artifact of the Western comic boom, offering a glimpse into how Atlas packaged classic cowboy heroics for young readers.
