Idaho Smith

Riding into the sun-baked pages of Marvel's mid-1950s Western comics, Idaho Smith debuted in Annie Oakley #5 (1955), brought to life by the creative team of Hank Chapman and Ross Andru. This compact run places him squarely in the twilight of the Golden Age, sharing the frontier with a memorable cast that includes the legendary Annie Oakley herself, along with Nugget, Ben Oakley, Yucca Bates, and Agnes Oakley. With only seven catalogued appearances, Idaho Smith is a genuine rarity — the kind of saddle-worn supporting figure that makes digging through vintage Western comics such a rewarding treasure hunt for collectors who love the genre's unsung corners.
