The covers of comic book westerns have been
lying to us all morning!
So let's take one last stab at truth and authenticity:
No, I'm sorry, there's no way one can claim that
Rod Cameron was "
the screen's toughest cowboy."
No, no, no--there's not even an alternate universe where someone can say with a straight face that Rod Cameron is "
moviedom's most famous cowboy."
Well...hold on...actor Rod Cameron
was Canadian. So maybe there was
one place in all of the multiverse where he was both "the toughest" and "most famous" cowboy.
We'll have to ask
Siskoid...
Rod Cameron Western #1 was from 1950. #11 was from 1951.
Never heard of him, but then, Canadian cowboys are more or less exclusive to Alberta, which might as well be another country from where I am.
ReplyDeleteI spent several summers in Texas as part of a divorce settlement, so my cowboy culture is necessarily 'Murican.
