Lev Gleason published comics with a definite law & order theme – the good guys and bad guys were easy to tell apart, with few shades of gray. This was by rules that were not only strictly enforced, but published publicly in the comics. This clear-cut division between lawmen and outlaws didn't hamper the creativity and entertainment of the books, however – which were popular in their day and even today. DESPERADO offered “true” stories of western legends, good and bad, and did not shy away from action and violence, even having the distinction of 20 killings in one story! THE COMPLETE DESPERADO has over three hundred pages of thrilling western action with artwork by Fred Kida, Bob Fujitani, Fred Guardineer and covers by Charles Biro.
