About the series
A gritty, photo-realistic western comic from Fawcett, Rod Cameron Western ran for twenty issues between 1950 and 1953, starring the lantern-jawed movie actor of the same name. The series is most notable for its frequent use of actual photographs alongside the art of Bob Butts, giving its tales of frontier justice a unique, documentary-style punch. It stands as a fascinating artifact of the early 1950s, when Hollywood star power and comic book adventure collided at the newsstand.
