Rex Allen

From 1951 to 1959, Dell’s Rex Allen brought the beloved singing cowboy star to the comics page across 30 issues, chronicling his adventures in the Old West. The series was most consistently shaped by writer-artist August Lenox, with additional art from Russ Manning and Sparky Moore lending a lively, classic western feel. While rooted in the film and television persona of its title character, the comic stood on its own as a reliable, long-running entry in Dell’s stable of western heroes. It remains a fondly remembered example of the genre’s mid-century popularity in comics.
