Notes | Issue updated with data from Alberto Becattini (April 2008). This comic title represents some of Dell's finest television series-based comics. Spiegle's work here is in top form here, and the stories are especially well-written. There's action mixed with cowboy sleuthing as found in television Westerns. |
