Issue #4
Published 1956 by Charlton Comics Group.$7.70
Cover by Dick Giordano & Vince Alascia. Stories and art by Bill Molno, Dick Giordano, and Vince Alascia. "Inspired" by Disney's Davy Crockett and the coonskin-cap mania of the 1950s, Charlton released its own adventure series based around famous frontiersmen. Would-be swindler Stanley D'Arcy underestimates Davy Crockett's smarts, just because he dresses like a native. While guiding a road crew into the wilderness, Daniel Boone arouses the ire of Yellow Hawk and his tribe. In his Wild Frontier debut, Jim Bowie (of the famous knife) gets crosswise with Black Tom Bennett and his gang as they try to take over the town of Clear Springs. Davy Crockett: Gamecock on the Bench; Frontier Scout Daniel Boone: Danger on Wilderness Road; The Bow Maker; Jim Bowie: Town for Ransom; Survival; The Fat of the Land. 32 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
