When the subject of Western legends is discussed, only about a half-dozen names are mentioned automatically – Wyatt Earp, Jesse James, Bat Masterson, Billy The Kid, Buffalo Bill --- and Wild Bill Hickok. He was born James Butler Hickock (1837-1876) but gained the name “Wild Bill” early in life. He was known to wear many hats including that of drover, wagon master, soldier, spy, scout, lawman, gunfighter, gambler, showman, and actor. It is impossible to separate fact from legend, especially since Wild Bill was known to stretch the truth himself more than once, but his true exploits as a gambler, showman, sharp-shooter, scout, and gunfighter are base din fact. The Avon comic series is considered the definitive Wild Bill Hickok series, and Gwandanaland / Midcentury Comics has the the complete run for you in 4 great books!
