Howdy pardners! Anyone still interested in western comics? The traditional western comic that was one of the more popular genres years ago is now virtually non-existent.

However the themes and scenarios of the traditional western are continued today in science fiction with outer space as the new frontier.

 

Here are some pics back when Western comics were popular. Can you identify all these western comics?

Westerns seem to be popular with girls:

 

1. Girl reading

 

 

2. Couch reading

 

 

3. Reading at desk

 

 

4. St Louis 1950, photo by Gordon Parks

 

 

5. Reading with dog

 

 

6. Reading on a swing 1945

 

7. Reading to a kid

 

8. Reading on a farm

 

 

9. Lawn chair reading 1952

 

 

10. Levittown New York 1949

 

 

11. Playing on the sofa

 

 

12. Portsmouth, Rhode Island 8-10-48

 

 

13. Barracks reading, England

 

14. Good reading

 

15. Must be a good story…

 

16. Reading Red Ryder on Lake Superior 1951

 

 

Sometimes kids dress up to read the comics…

17. He looks pretty cool in that outfit. One of my favorite pictures.

 

 

18. Dress up with a friend and read comics by Benn Mitchell.

 

 

19. Here is a 1940s Straight Arrow radio show toys window display photo. Shown is a window stuffed full of Straight Arrow, the Native American hero of radio played by Howard Culver, toys and accessories, the objects of every young fans desire then and of collectors today. The show was sponsored by Nabisco and broadcast on the Mutual Station.

Thanks for the interesting pics! Back in the fifties, western flicks and TV series, as well as that theme in comic books were plentiful, but times and interests changed during the sixties.
