"Trail" Colt U.S. Marshal: The Complete Adventures

The complete adventures of "Trail" Colt, U. S. Marshal from the pages of 1940s M. E. comics. Includes art by Frank Frazetta, Graham Ingles, and others. Boardman Books' "character" collections bring together the adventures of rather obscure golden ago comic book characters in single volumes. The point of the volumes is not to focus on a particular artist but to rediscover a character generally lost to comics fandom. Stories are reproduced from vintage originals from the collection of the publisher (and other sources) with only rudimentary cleaning to make the art more legible and therefore suffer all the drawbacks that implies. If you are looking for an exposition, or diatribe, on this artist or that, these books are not the place to find it. However, if you wish thrilling adventures as only comic books can convey, these might be the publications for you.
