Rocky Lane

A short-lived 1950s western comic from Semrau Publications, Rocky Lane ran for eight issues and adapted the exploits of the popular B-movie cowboy star. The series is notable for featuring early art by Dick Giordano, who would go on to become a legendary figure in the comic book industry. While the exact artist for the photographic covers remains unknown, the interiors blended classic western action with Giordano's emerging clean, dynamic style. It stands as a minor but interesting artifact of the era's movie-to-comic tie-ins.
