About the series
In the early 1950s, Youthful put out this short-lived, three-issue comic series that spotlighted the lawless legends of the Old West. Illustrated primarily by Al McWilliams, each issue offered a gritty, no-nonsense look at the lives and crimes of infamous outlaws. It stands as a modest but earnest artifact of the Western genre's popularity in postwar comics, capturing a moment when publishers rushed to cash in on the public's fascination with frontier desperadoes.
