While Native Americans had generally been vilified or left in the shadows of gun-slinging cowboy heroes, the American Eagle stories featured in \u003cem\u003ePrize Comics Western\u003c\/em\u003e were built around action-packed tribal intrigues and a heroic Crow warrior. And they are GREAT! Well written and superbly drawn!!!\n\nSeverin of course went on to a long career of work at Warren, Marvel and DC comics, never taking a short cut and always producing outstanding comic book stories.\n\nCollected here for the first time are all of the American Eagle stories drawn by Severin from \u003cem\u003ePrize Comics Western\u003c\/em\u003e #85-113. Plus Severin-drawn stories featuring \"The Fargo Kid\" (with an assist from \u003cstrong\u003eAl Williamson\u003c\/strong\u003e!), \"Black Bull\" and \"The Lazo Kid.\" More than 55 exciting, gorgeous Western tales of bullets vs. arrows, stampedes, tribal warfare, prospectors, buffalo hunters, broken treaties, gun battles, cavalry charges, wagon trains, and warriors on horseback.\n\nWith commentary by comics historian \u003cstrong\u003eHoward Leroy Davis\u003c\/strong\u003e.\n\n\u003cem\u003eI've collected these stories for decades now. Always a big fan of Severin, I find these among the most appealing of all of his work. Roger Hill (\u003c\/em\u003eEC Fan Addict, Reed Crandall, Mac Raboy\u003cem\u003e) shares my enthusiasm for this series. I've occasionally scored Roger’s old copies when he upgraded! It's very, very cool to finally get all these collected, not to mention all of Severin’s Charlton series,\u003c\/em\u003e The Fargo Kid.\n\n\u003cem\u003eWhen Roger and I created a bookplate for Roger's book \u003c\/em\u003eJohn Severin: Two Fisted Comic Book Artist\u003cem\u003e, I hand-picked nine of my favorite covers from these same issues to feature on our bookplate. -Bud\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fantagraphics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59641158664478,"sku":"JOHWH","price":59.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/0684\/7006\/files\/JOHWH.jpg?v=1784501985","url":"https:\/\/shop.budsartbooks.com\/products\/the-john-severin-westerns-featuring-american-eagle","provider":"Bud's Art Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
