5.0 out of 5 stars
A fun, nostalgic and authoritative coverage of the media, September 2, 1998
This review is from: Golden-Age Greats: Roy Rogers and the Silver Screen Cowboys (Paperback)
As an authority on Roy Rogers, and a Rogers biographer, and a researcher of the silver screen cowboys and author of numerous related books and more than 300 published articles on the subject, and as a Western comicographer, I highly recommend this work for any and all interested in more data than has previously ever been published on this subject: it is thorough yet consise, and crammed full of illustrated examples of the work of the many artists who contributed to this--one of the most exciting and important media in our Western heritage, pertaining to the American cowboy in the comic art form. I have had a long association with Mr. Black, and he demonstrates here his devotion to research and the subject. This is a tremendous reference source for Western Americana buffs, students, and Western art/comics buffs and collectors. I am working on a massive reference book of all Western comics, 1900-present day, and have found Black's work to be an invaluable reference, not merely for it's content, but for it's quick and easy-to-use format. It has been long overdue!
