About the series
In the early 1960s, Gold Key Comics launched The Lion, a Western series starring a lone, unnamed hero who roams the frontier dispensing justice. Spanning a single 1963 issue, this short-lived title is most associated with the atmospheric, detailed artwork of Jack Sparling, a veteran of the genre. Though brief, it stands as a compact example of Gold Key's foray into original Western storytelling, capturing the rugged, solitary spirit of the Old West.
