               Known as “Wild Bill” Hickok (James Butler Hickok)  

                                  (May 27, 1837 – August 2, 1876)

Hickok was a folk hero of the Old West because of his expertise as a 
gunfighter and scout along with his reputation as a lawman. 

He was born and raised on a farm in Illinois and headed west at the age
age of 18 as a fugitive from the law. He first worked as a stagecoach 
driver, before becoming a lawman in the frontier territories of Kansas
and Nebraska. 

                  
This pair of Colt pistols are said to be Wild Bill’s. They were raffled off after  
his death to pay the funeral expenses.

Action Comics, published on April 18, 1938 (cover-dated June),
by National Allied Publications, a corporate predecessor of DC
Comics, is considered to be the first true superhero comic; and
though today Action Comics is a monthly devoted to Superman,
it began, like many early comics, as an anthology.

As of 2011, this is the only comic to have sold for more than $2
million for a single original copy. It is considered to be the most
valuable comic book of all time.
