There's neither a gun nor a gangster on that cover.  What a ripoff!

Guns are obviously in the eye of the beholder.

I remember as a kid seeing the term "esoteric comics" more and more in the early Overstreets and not even knowing what "esoteric" meant. THIS... is an esoteric comic!!

What a piece of obscure pop culture Americana: everything from the logo and lettering to the fusion of the romance and western genres, and of course that killer Cole linework and poster-ific coloring. And what a nice sharp copy too. Bravo.

Grabbed this one yesterday, fills a hole in the 4Most run of LB Cole covers for me!

Canadian copy.  Was this cover used on any other books?

Yes, it was a Target cover.  I was going to scan one the other day. I'll dig it back up (unless someone beats me to it).

Someone say Target?

Hi everyone! I just picked up my very first L.B. Cole cover! Got it at Denver Comic Con from Dale Roberts. Super happy to own this, but now I want more!

Great one to start off with! Congrats!

Sweet pickup!  One I still need for the run of Cole covers.  What did Dale have it graded at?

He called it a 6.0 but that seems high. I have a post in the grading forum and some call it a 3.0 or better. Hoping it's closer to a 6.0 than a 3.0
