Johnny Mack Brown / Four Color v2 #922 - Russ Manning art

Four Color Comics v2 #922

Johnny Mack Brown v1 / Four Color v2 #922, 1958 - Both feature stories in this issue are competently illustrated, the first drawn by a young Dan Spiegle, possibly influenced by Alex Toth. Russ Manning does the second tale in his own consistently unique style. The artist's many little touches and additions in each panel give the frontier settings a more genuine appearance. The scenes involving a stagecoach are especially noteworthy in their fine details. Note that in the final panel, Manning cleverly uses the shade of a tree to convey the "shadiness" of the captured robbers. Photo cover. This is 1 of 1 Johnny Mack Brown issues by Manning.
