Icculus308win Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Thank-you Jeffro. Is Tomahawk a good read vs. other D.C. Westerns and to the Marvel ones noted up above? Or isi t in a different in a different class since it's a frontier book? What other frontier books do you compare or reccomend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOMBU1959-migration Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 an early monster title? Certainly an un usual theme for a western, but then all the early 1960s marvel westerns are of the fantastic. This one is a very badly restored copy, has ben virtually stitched back together. Great story and cover. No. 35 is notable for being the very last comic book work of EC - Mad artist Jack Davis..A really nice issue.

BOMBU1959-migration Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 I love this one,...should be much moer popular as its actually the very first appearance of a character called Red Raven, some years before the return of the character in X Men. This guy isn't the same Red Raven, but it is a recycled character, very common with Stan Lee's work of course. The Next one is A hilarious giant ape on the loose cover, which si if you look closely completely out of scale,,,,courtesy of Jack 'King' Kirby.

BOMBU1959-migration Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 A very busy, 'nothing' cover. Can't imagine anyone buying this for its punchy design? Its a mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icculus308win Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 Tomahawk is a great read, one of my fave 50s titles of all time. Much obliged kind sir. The cover art is fantastic on many I have seen. Some of the Star Spangled and World's Finest are great too. Tomahawk #1 in itself is a fantastic cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiverbones Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 The star spangleds are also great! That polar bear cover is a real winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HouseofComics.Com Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 I like Tomahawks. Sort of a cross between a war comic and a western. The art just seems like standard good DC 50s art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
