WESTERN TALES: DAVY CROCKETT "Devil Rapids"

Let's leap into the adventures of the "Hero of the Wild Frontier"...
...(note: not "King of the Wild Frontier"!
Disney had that trademarked!
The cover-featured story from Harvey Comics' Western Tales #31 (1955)...
...was penciled and inked by Jack Kirby, a rarity since he usually didn't have time to ink his own work!
The writer is unknown, but could be either Kirby or partner Joe Simon.
BTW, you may wonder why Harvey didn't just name a comic "Davy Crockett".
It's because Charlton Comics beat them to it, putting out a Davy Crockett #1 several months earlier!
Who says comics aren't educational?
