Captain Fortune with Davy Crockett and the Thunder 'n Lightning Men of the Old West

Vital Publications' 1955 one-shot Captain Fortune with Davy Crockett and the Thunder 'n Lightning Men of the Old West is a curious, single-issue oddity that mashes up a masked frontier hero with the historical coonskin-capped icon. The story teams Captain Fortune, a Western vigilante, with Davy Crockett and his super-powered allies, the Thunder 'n Lightning Men, for a singular adventure. Though it has never continued beyond that initial issue, its audacious title and premise make it a memorable footnote in the publisher's 1950s output.
