What Do You Get When You Combine Westerns With Romance?

Cowgirl Romances!

Comic Book Publishers are always quick to pick up on trends!

The western was a popular genre for comics, and then romance comics became 'hot' overnight!

It was just a matter of time before some publisher put out a comic like this one!

However it was only a one shot publication from Marvel Comics as Fiction House Comics put out a 'Cowgirl Romances' comic book of its' own during the same month in January 1950!

Today the Marvel version is worth $250 in NM grade while the Fiction House version is $225 in NM!

QUEEN KILLER SHARK

Was One of the Reasons I would buy the Blackhawk Comics!

'Blackhawk' was a 1950 ABC radio series that was adapted from the long-running Blackhawk comic book about the team of World War II aviators from Quality Comics. It was an unsponsored half-hour show that aired on Wednesdays nights at 5:30pm.

Michael Fitzmaurice, (1908-1967), portrayed the team leader Blackhawk. The radio series premiered on September 13, 1950 and concluded a few months later on December 27, 1950. It is thought that there were only sixteen episodes in the entire run.

I first discovered Blackhawk in the early 1960's when it was published by DC Comics. I did not know that the series was a continuation of Quality's earlier series, and that DC had picked up the numbering with #108.

Quality Comics had the Blackhawk feature debut in Military Comics #1 in August of 1941, and Blackhawk earned its' own comic title in 1944.

DC Comics picked up the title in 1956. The comic became a little outdated by the mid 1960's because it was still about the aviators adventures so DC revamped the Blackhawks into super-heroes with issues #230 - 241 but it just didn't go over sales-wise. The revamp didn't do anything for me either.... Then the comic was changed back into its' original premise but lasted only two more issues before its' 1968 cancellation.

By the time DC Comics attempted a short 1970s run (#244 to #250) I had quit reading the series. Indeed, my original interest were the stories with the Nazi operative Killer Shark and Lady Blackhawk whom Killer Shark changed into Queen Killer Shark. Those stories piqued my interest just from the covers!

For those interested in Blackhawk comic books, we have several issues in our eBay Featured Store
