"Remember the Alamo!" (1951)

Doff your coonskins and cowboy hats, gents, because on this day in 1836, Davy, Big Jim Bowie and the rest of the gang went to Glory at the Alamo. This pictorial tribute appeared in the Avon one-shot Davy Crockett, published in 1951, and uploaded to comicbookplus by fan777. The artist is unknown (at least to me).
