But isn't Quick Draw McGraw himself a horse, so how can he ride one. That is even sillier than a comic cover featuring a Clothes Horse???

Don't worry. This thread is in the Silver Age dept as that is where the cool kids hang out. Right at the top @Get Marwood & I says

• • horses from all eras welcome

  •  

Well, in that case...

Horses in landscape format anyone?

Dunno why I'm bothering Dept: But here goes. 

IW Comics have one thing going for them. Most issues displayed brand new covers. Here is a Morse Horse (and the Kid) looking right at YOU and apparently drawn by John Severin. The cover is improved further by Len's ink stamp. So if the UK newsagent was selling this comic for 6d (and there needed to be a profit in it for him) what price was Len wholesaling them out at?!? And what price was Len BUYING them at?!?  A penny each??

Could only think of this book at the moment, but I also have a few western comics.

I made a similar observation here Robot, albeit on a Len free copy. Check my other threads for my 6d/9d Miller theory - this one is just to show off horses 

I've read it, and they're all lies. Rumour is that The Horse of The North wrote it under a pseudonym.

Are seahorses eligible here or should I delete this post?

Who knows? I was told " this one is just to show off horses " even though I posted a comic cover with a huge horse head on it. So no doubt this Lois Lane will be frowned on. They should be glad anyone is still bothering to visit/post in these forums.............

I meant that in the context of your Miller pricing question.

Sea horse? Of course! 

[Hepcat]

Great! Here then is another cover with seahorses before I get to mammalian ones:

I love those early Challengers of the Unknown comics these days although it wasn't among my favourite titles as a kid.
