1954’s The Man from Laramie by T.T. Flynn is fronted by Stanley Borack art featuring a standing figure nursing sore knuckles, but we prefer to think of him as gratefully kissing his fist. You get a couple of archetypal western elements in this novel, most importantly the mysterious stranger from out of town, and the powerful rancher with no scruples. If the title sounds familiar, it’s probably because the book was made into a hit 1955 movie with James Stewart. We may have a look at that later.
Mwah! I love you left hook. You get it done every time.
