CISCO KID "Gunwise Cowpoke"

From #2 of his own comic (which was actually the first issue)...
...comes the "Robin Hood of the Old West", as they said on his radio show!
Even though the last few b-movies had starred Duncan Renaldo and the tv series (also starring Renaldo) was about to begin airing when this issue came out, Cisco in this issue looks remarkably like Gilbert Roland, who played him in several b-movies in the mid-1940s, indicating that this story may have been created back then, but not published until 1951.
In the next issue, Cisco shaves off his mustache and begins to look more like Renaldo.
Support Small Business this Christmas!
