Return of the Outlaw

Toby Press's Return of the Outlaw (1953–1955) ran for seven issues, a mid-1950s Western comic that revived the legend of Billy the Kid—and his real-life alias Henry McCarty—for a new generation of readers. Jack Sparling, Tom Gill, and David Tendlar provided the gritty, action-driven art across the series, giving the Old West a pulpy, energetic feel. It's a compact but telling example of the Western genre's enduring popularity in comics during the decade, anchored by one of history's most notorious outlaws.
