Where To Watch
Try to guess the classic TV western from its comic book adaptation
Are you quick on the drawings?
Westerns were the original multimedia experience. Kids growing up in the 1950s could watch their favorite cowboys on the TV screen. They could skip to school swinging the official lunch box. Later that night, they could slip into pajamas and sheets branded with the Western. Perhaps then they would flick on a flashlight and read more adventures in the official comic book adaptations.
And just about every single TV Western had a comic book. Dell Publishing, in particular, made a mint printing up Western adaptations.
We've gathered a bunch of them below. Try to match them to the correct television series!

You got 9 out 12 - Good aim, partner! You brought justice to this quiz. That was an interesting quiz. I'm not up on a lot of those westerns and knew about half. For the others I guessed and guessed successfully.....mostly.

Do I detect a little current-day colorization (or de-colorization) on the valet in the "Have Gun Will Travel" comic? What western had a lime-green character in it?
11/12. It always seems that when I miss only one, it's usually the last one.
