Westerns were the original multimedia experience. Kids growing up in the 1950s could watch their favorite cowboys on the TV screen. They could skip to school swinging the official lunch box. Later that night, they could slip into pajamas and sheets branded with the Western. Perhaps then they would flick on a flashlight and read more adventures in the official comic book adaptations.
And just about every single TV Western had a comic book. Dell Publishing, in particular, made a mint printing up Western adaptations.
