Russ Manning (January 5, 1929-December 1, 1981) is fondly remembered for his artwork on the comic MAGNUS, ROBOT FIGHTER and his time on both the TARZAN and STAR WARS newspaper strips. Like every great commercial artist though, he had to have started somewhere before reaching such lofty heights. Dell Comics, with their seemingly endless line of comics based on movies and television shows, was a perfect fit for Manning’s realistic art style. This first volume showcases Russ Manning’s artwork from: “QUEEN OF THE WEST DALE EVANS #6, WESTERN ROUNDUP #16, ROY ROGERS & TRIGGER #124, SEA HUNT #4, FOUR COLOR COMICS #1115- RICKY MARTIN, 77 SUNSET STRIP #1, CAPTAIN SINDBAD #1, THE GALLANT MEN #1 and CAPTAIN JOHNER AND THE ALIENS #1. This book was compiled with the best images currently available. That stated, these comics are over sixty years old. The best efforts have been made to make the pages as enjoyable as possible but not every panel is perfect and some allowances for the age of the books need to be considered when judging the overall contents.
