WESTERN TALES: DAVY CROCKETT "Running Fight"

While comics have shown us numerous meetings of legendary characters...
...it's not often they show us a meeting of real-life legends...even if the enounter is entirely fictional!
Andrew Jackson and Davy Crockett did meet in real life, when then-Congressman Crockett helped foil an assassination plot against then-President Jackson!
You can read about it HERE!
This never-reprinted story from Harvey's Western Tales #32 (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.
Be here tomorrow for the final chapter of Simon & Kirby's version of "the West's Greatest Hero"!
