About the series
From 1950 to 1956, Avon Periodicals published Jesse James, a 24-issue Western comic that chronicled the outlaw adventures of the legendary James-Younger gang. Guided by prolific writer Gardner Fox and a rotating roster of artists including Everett Raymond Kinstler, Joe Kubert, and Bob McCarty, the series balanced historical figures like Frank James and Cole Younger with dramatic frontier action. It stands as a classic example of the postwar Western comic boom, offering pulp-style tales of the notorious bandit and his associates.
