Comic books 1961 w/ month not specified

1st Printing - Written by Walter Lord. On the morning of March 6, 1836, in an old abandoned mission called the Alamo, a small Texas garrison fought to the death rather than yield to an overwhelming army of Mexicans. Through the years the garrisons heroic stand has become so clothed in folklore and romance that the truth has nearly been lost. In A Time to Stand Walter Lord rediscovers and recreates the whole fascinating story. From contemporary documents, diaries, and letters, he has mined a wealth of fresh information that throws intriguing sidelights on the epic of the Alamo. What were the defenders like? Why did they take their stand? Did any escape? Did Davy Crockett surrender? The cast of characters includes not only famous figures like Jim Bowie but unknown, unsung men: John Purdy Reynolds, the wandering Pennsylvania surgeon; George Kimball, the industrious New York hatter, Micajah Autry of Tennessee, who was a far better poet than a businessman. And then there are the Mexicans: the fabulous Santa Anna; the smooth Colonel Almonte; the forlorn private Juan Basquez, who only wanted to stay home and make shoes. Softcover, 5" x 8", 256 pages, B&W. Cover price $5.95.

We hope we're not disappointing anyone, but Adventures in Leather (1961) is a Tandy promotional comic book recounting the history of leather working along with information about hobby products offered by Tandy. What makes this promotional comic unique is that the art is done by a very young (23 year-old) Neal Adams. He is not credited in the comic (as is common with most promotional comics), but the style and line-work is obviously Adams. Standard-sized comic, full-color, 16-pages including covers, all newsprint, no cover price.
