THE COMPLETE LUCKY STAR WESTERN VOLUME ONE rounds up the first four issues of NationWideÕs seven issue series. Lucky Star rides through the old west righting wrongs and helping
settlers and Native Americans alike. He is aided in his adventures by his horse Thunder, the
rotund and ever faithful Poncho along with PonchoÕs son Vamos. Lucky would often come to the
aid of Jack Drew, the owner of the Bar Double R ranch and his daughter, the beautiful and
wholesome Miss Penny.
The amazing Jack Davis drew most of the first and second issues with many of the art chores
being taken over by Frank Carlin by the third issue. Quality warning, LUCKY STAR was originally
published as a digest size comic so some of the illustrations and colors do not appear as crisply as
I would have preferred when blown up to the standard 8ÕX 11Õ format. That said, THE COMPLETE
LUCKY STAR WESTERN VOLUME ONE is still a highly enjoyable series and good examples of the
western genre in comics during the early 1950Õs.
