Four Color Comics v2 #1097

Rawhide v1 / Four Color Comics v2 #1097, 1960 - A Clint Eastwood photo graces the cover of this television-based comic. Russ Manning does a decent job at drawing the likenesses of the actor and also costar Eric Fleming. The inside front cover serves as a contents page, re-using a panel from each of the interior stories. While Manning's second tale is competent, his first is noticeably superior in its detail and layouts. Several dramatic scenes are further heightened by a keen distribution of light colors and black areas. Manning's westerns may be cleaner and more streamlined, but no other artist's landscapes are more open and spacious. Photo cover.
