*Western: The Revolutionary War is a subject that’s never gone over big in the UK, for obvious historical reasons, but nevertheless issues of Tomahawk drifted over to these shores, and were treated as somewhat confusing cultural artefacts, in which we were expected to take the viewpoint of Tomahawk and his – ahem – Rip-Roaring Rangers, and cheer him on as he fought the evil British. Things were enlivened considerably when the creators steered away from the historical and moved to the fantastical, with King Cobweb and his Bug Bandits, freedom fighter Miss Liberty, and cross-dressing villainess the Hood. In 1968, a slightly more realistic tone became evident, with the advent of some truly epic covers by Neal Adams commencing with #116. Later still, in the 70s, the title changed (on the cover, anyway) to “Son of Tomahawk”, and his half-Native American son took the spotlight, with Tomahawk himself playing the cranky old sidekick/mentor. This selection runs from 1959’s #64 to 1972’s #138. (And what d’you mean, “It’s not a proper Western”? It’s set in the past, it’s got horses, shurrup…)
