Classics Illustrated: TEXAS AND THE ALAMO (1958)

The 100-page Classics Illustrated Special Edition, BLAZING THE TRAILS WEST featured this chapter devoted to Texas independence. The art is credited to John Severin. Some of it looks a bit like him, some not so much. My apologies for the lousy image quality. This is the best I could find.

The TOYNK Battle of the Alamo!

Today is the day (back in 1836) that Crockett, Bowie, Travis and many other heroes gave their lives for the country-to-be of Texas at the Alamo. I got these five figures (sold separately) ten or so years ago, and they're still fighting. A little googling tells me that four of the five are still available, but Crockett appears to be hard to come by. "Give 'em what fer, Davy!"
