I'm back with a couple more comics I would like to identify.

First of: A comic I think is "The Sheriff" by Syd Shores in Western Kid #16 (Marvel)

Second: I'm assuming this is Wild Bill Hickok from Charlton Comics Cowboy Western. Am I right?

Third: Could this be Annie Oakley from Charlton Comics Cowboy Western #60?

Fourth: This could be an French comic but I take a chance that it might be american. The titel means "The Prisoners of the Pirates", or something like that.

And last: Does any one recognize this comic? I think "Ura-Kaipa" is the Swedish publishers own name for it.

This would be all (for now anyway :biggrin: )

That Sheriff art looks like it was drawn by Dick Ayers, not Shores.

The Pirates art might be from a Classics Illustrated.

One down.
"Familjen Ura-Kaipa" is acually "Peter Piltdown" by Mel Eaton.

Its definitely Shores art and is from Western Kid #16.

I side with Red Oak Kid on this. A lot of those poses and artwork do indeed look a lot more like Dick Ayers work.

Another vote for Darlin' Dick Ayers. Those are definitely Ayers faces if I've ever seen them ... & as a Sgt. Fury fanatic, I've seen them by the thousands.

Ok, so it is "The Sheriff" in Western Kid #16 but it could be by Dick Ayers rather than by Syd Shores - as CBDB and The Unofficial Handbook Marvel Comic Creators will have it?
