Notes: Features lawman Wyatt Earp (1848-1929). Earp had been appearing in his own Goodman comic for some time; cf. G-884 "The Making of a Marshal!" in Wyatt Earp 1 (Nov 1955). However, this story was not identified as a Wyatt Earp story on its splash panel. Interestingly, the character was drawn exactly as he would be in the Wyatt Earp stories once Dick Ayers took over the character; cf. L-537 in Wyatt Earp 10 Apr 1957.
