BOB STEELE WESTERN #1 (DECEMBER 1950)

 Bob Steele Western ran for ten issues from 1950 to 1952.  

Bob Steele was born Robert Adrian Bradbury into a vaudeville family in 1907.  He begn his film career in 1920 and, in 1927, was hired by Film Booking Offices of America to star in a series of westerns under the name Bob Steele.  From that time through the 1940, he starred in B-westerns for almost every minor film studio.  He continued acting in westerns until 1970's Rio Lobo (as an unnamed deputy), and did occasional television work, including playing Trooper Duffy on F Troop from 1965-67.  But his career as a popular western star faded in lthe late 1940s, which may explain why there were only ten issues of Bob Steele Western.

Bob Steele Western #1 features a four-chapter story, "Hangman's Bait."  Bob tries to help a lawyer free an innocent man and finds himself against a powerful bad guy and a crokked deputy.

Enjoy.
