Marvel Westerns (Silver Age) 7 7

[Jeffro.]

Anybody? Your takes on the art and story

of TOMAHAWK.

 

LOVE 'em.

I love all the "frontier" type books DC was producing in the 50's

[Icculus308win]

Thank-you Jeffro. Is Tomahawk a good read vs. other D.C. Westerns and to the Marvel ones noted up above? Or isi t in a different in a different class since it's a frontier book? What other frontier books do you compare or reccomend?

an early monster title? Certainly an un usual theme for a western, but then all the early 1960s marvel westerns are of the fantastic.

This one is a very badly restored copy, has ben virtually stitched back together.

 

Great story and cover.

 

 

No. 35 is notable for being the very last comic book work of EC - Mad artist Jack Davis..A really nice issue.

[BOMBU1959-migration]

 

I love this one,...should be much moer popular as its actually the very first appearance of a character called Red Raven, some years before the return of the character in X Men. This guy isn't the same Red Raven, but it is a recycled character, very common with Stan Lee's work of course.

 

The Next one is

 

 

A hilarious giant ape on the loose cover, which si if you look closely completely out of scale,,,,courtesy of Jack 'King' Kirby.

[BOMBU1959-migration]

 

A very busy, 'nothing' cover. Can't imagine anyone buying this for its punchy design? Its a mess.

 

 

[BOMBU1959-migration]

 

Followed by one of the very best, great perspective, big staircase, and the 'Kid' doing some of his fancy shooting...

[BOMBU1959-migration]

 

And, Finally, the best title ever...The Guns of Jasper Jelko !

[BOMBU1959-migration]

 

The Poor relation of rawhide kid, the masked marvel of the west.

 

Generally less fantastical, but a great read.

 

Guest Starring....'Jesse James'

Tomahawk is a great read, one of my fave 50s titles of all time.

Much obliged kind sir. The cover art is fantastic on many I have seen. Some of the Star Spangled and World's Finest are great too. Tomahawk #1 in itself is a fantastic cover.

 

 

 

 

[shiverbones]

The star spangleds are also great! That polar bear cover is a real winner.

[HouseofComics.Com]

I like Tomahawks. Sort of a cross between a war comic and a western. The art just seems like standard good DC 50s art.

[Icculus308win]

Nice. That is a hard to find book in any condition and a truly great Atlas/Marvel key.
