THE CISCO KID! by Bernard Baily (1944)
Bernard Baily had a long career with D.C. comics, stretching from 1938 to 1980. But in 1944 he started his own comic line, publishing at least four one-shots, and The Cisco Kid #1 is one of them. His art here is far superior to that of Bob Jenney and Ray Baily in the later Dell series.

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!"
