About the series
In 1960, Dell Comics launched an eight-issue run based on the popular television western Bat Masterson, with scripts by prolific writer Gaylord Du Bois. Bob Forgione and Jerry Robinson were among the artists bringing the dapper, cane-wielding frontier lawman to life, with photo covers adding a unique touch. This short-lived series captures the tail end of the TV-inspired comic boom, offering a snapshot of how the small screen's adventures were translated to the page.
