I thought I'd post some comics today from my dad's youth. He was always a huge western fan and two of his favorites were Gene Autry and John Wayne. He doesn't have any of his childhood issues anymore because my grandma probably threw them out but he might have had this issue from 1946. Not much is known about this series but it was probably fairly standard western fare. All 101 issues had photo covers so the kiddies could definitely tell it wasn't some generic western hero. Hopefully westerns will make a comeback. I know DC's new Jonah Hex series is doing OK so maybe there's hope.
