Not that anyone will care but I see 1,116 in my records. That's 26% of the lot. I'll wear that as a badge of shame Two big intersections in my collecting help push the #'s up: 1. collecting the Four Color run and 2. the period of time I bought anything and everything Atlas I'm also working on a Four Color run and am over 80% of the way there. It will be tough to finish, but maybe some day. As for westerns, I've got: 243 of the Four Color westerns All of the Dell Gene Autry vol.2 and Gene Autry's Champion (plus one from vol.1 of Gene Autry) All but one Roy Rogers and all but 3 of the Roy Rogers' Trigger issues 115/145 Lone Ranger plus 34/34 Silver and 27/32 Tonto 92/150 Red Ryder All Indian Chief 24/30 Rex Allen lots of other Dell issues I don't have too many DC westerns from the 40s-60s - maybe 100 or so with many of those being Tomahawk. I do have all of the All Star Western/Weird Western Tales and Jonah Hex. I have a lot of Marvel westerns, but mostly from the mid-60s and later. I've never really collected westerns from other publishers. Marty Mann 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, I have a lot of the Lone Ranger and barely any Roy Rogers. Missing only 1 Indian Chief though. 7 minutes ago, kaculler said: I've never really collected westerns from other publishers. Me neither. They look tempting but many always contain poor artistry. That's holding me back. At least with the DC, for example, you are guaranteed quality. Ditto for Magazine Enterprises and Prize. Same with Dell by and large. Atlas is fine with me as I am familiar with most artists so it's nice to see familiar "faces". Otherwise, the Atlas aren't always the best out there in term of Westerns. kaculler 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidTheDavid Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 I’m tempted to pursue The Lone Ranger comics in their entirety. But I’m committed to finishing Weird War Tales before I start another run. Marty Mann 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HouseofComics.Com Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Lone Ranger would be really high on my collecting list too. Tomahawk always gets put in with westerns but I tend to think of it as a war comic since it's almost always vs the Redcoats in the ones I remember. Also, it's in the East...

Marty Mann Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 My favorite all time classic Western comic is SIMON & KIRBY'S "BOYS' RANCH". I have all six issues but they are all remainders like this copy of #4. DavidTheDavid 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Robot Man Posted April 27, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 27, 2019 Yes, there is still obviously a market for western comics as this thread will attest... I was overjoyed to pick up this cool Straight Arrow #1-10 bound volume today. Fred Meagher is way overlooked as an artist. Such detailed depictions of Cowboy and Indian life in the old west. The occasional Frazetta cover is just an added bonus! And the back covers are also stellar advertising all the stuff you could get by sending in those Nabisco Shredded Wheat boxtops! kaculler, path4play, PopKulture and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casablanca Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 I thought this was slabbable, turns out it was. 2 on the census i believe, and this one comes out at the top. My westerns collection is fairly ratty, those were the books i folded over and read in the bathroom. TMI i realize...

I have a feeling you have bought about a hundred dart guns thru the years Robot Man. Is your dog the target for every new buy? He probably knows when to run away now.

Pickie Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Hi, may I chime in with a question for western comic experts, please. Do you know of any comic book adaptions of John Ford's 1948 "3 Godfathers" (John Wayne)? Any help would be much appreciated. Apparently, there's nothing to be found on the internet, not even in the "Grand Comics Database". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
