RIFLEMAN "Score to Settle" Part 1

It's been a while since we visited Lucas McCain and his son Mark...
...so let's go by the old homestead as their friend, local marshal, Micah Torrance stops by...
Seems peaceful enough, but the Reagan clan has plans for revenge against Lucas, as we'll see..next week!
The script for this tale from Four Color Comics #1009 (1959) was penned by Eric Freiwald and Robert Schaefer, while the art was provided by Dan Spiegle, one of the primary illustrators for Dell (and later, Gold Key) movie/tv adaptations due to his knack for rendering likenesses of actors.

Oddly, though, regular supporting character Marshal Micah Torrance looks nothing like actor Paul Fix!
Whether this is due to the artist not having photo reference or the actor not allowing his likeness to be used in licensed products is unknown.

Support Small Business!
