Today in Comics History, April 30: Happy birthday, Burton C. Mossman!

Born on this day in 1867: Burton C. Mossman, legendary American lawman (and cattleman, but we won't hold that against him).


"Arizona Ranger" in Detective Comics #139 (DC, September 1948), script and art by Stookie Allen (?)

And from that point on there was never any troubles in Arizona ever again. EVER AGAIN.




from "Border Watchdog" in Western Fighters v.3 #7 (Hillman, June 1951), pencils and inks by Michael J. Becker

If you want to read more about him you can go to your local library. Or, read this right here instead, if you want. I'm not your supervisor.



"Enemy of the Outlaws: Burt Mossman" in JACK ARMSTRONG #13 (Parents' Magazine Press, September 1949), writer uncredited and unknown

Or this one! It's illustrated! Now you can do your book report on Burt Mossman! (Copy it! Your teacher will never know!)



"Chacon: Border Bandit" from The Lone Ranger (148 series) #10 (Dell, April 1949), story by Carl Smith, pencils and inks by Mo Gollub

Happy birthday, Captain Mossman!
