Wild Bill Hickok

Few figures loom larger in American frontier mythology than Wild Bill Hickok, and Charlton Comics brought him to the four-color page in 1958 with art from the legendary Joe Maneely — a Silver Age debut that planted this iconic gunfighter squarely in the Western comics boom of the era. Across a remarkable publishing span stretching nearly six decades, this version of Hickok rides through issues alongside fellow legends of the frontier like Wyatt Earp and Annie Oakley, as well as The Masked Raider, making for some gloriously action-packed Western company. Whether you're a Charlton devotee, a fan of Silver Age Westerns, or simply drawn to the romance of the Old West in comics form, Wild Bill Hickok is a piece of that grand tradition worth tipping your hat to.
