More Westerns You MAY Have Missed (1936)

 

Official Handbook: FESS PARKER as DANIEL BOONE Trail Blazers Club (1964)

Back in 1964, in the first issue of Gold Key's Daniel Boone, us kids were invited to destroy the comic by cutting pages out of the back to make this dandy handbook. WARNING: Please don't try this at home! It could severely damage your computer monitor!

CONGRATULATIONS!

You are now an official Fess Parker/Daniel Boone Trail Blazer!

"What a BOONE what a doer, what a dream come-a-truer was he!"

The Real Life of DANIEL BOONE, Frontiersman (1948)

 

This real, true saga of Old Dan'l comes to us from Real Life Comics #1, dated Nov. 1948. Scanned for comicbookplus by Yoc.

"Fighting Daniel Boone" by EVERETT RAYMOND KINSTLER (1953)

As you may have noticed, I'm a great admirer of the work of Everett Raymond Kinstler. After some fine interior illo work in the pulps, he produced a ton of great comic book covers. He also illustrated a number of stories, but his fine line work sometimes suffered from poor printing on the cheap paper. Thankfully, this adventure of Mr. Dan'l Boone (from the 1953 Fighting Daniel Boone #only - thanks to comicbookplus's movielover) came out better than most. When you get to the end, you'll see the contents page, printed in black and white on the inside cover. Makes me wish ALL of his comic work had been printed in b&w on good paper. You'll find more of his black and white work and a nice Jesse James story HERE.
