Monte Hale Western

A short-lived Charlton Comics series from the mid-1950s, Monte Hale Western ran for just six issues, starring the real-life singing cowboy actor in his own comic-book adventures. The series was most consistently written and drawn by Clint Harmon, with additional art from Mario DeMarco, capturing the classic B-movie Western atmosphere. It stands as a modest but charming piece of the 1950s cowboy craze, preserving the wholesome, frontier heroics of its title character for a young audience.
