I need Cisco, that's who! When I decided to collect Cisco strips around 12 years ago, because of the fact that I already collected enough comic art at the time, I decided I would only collect what I felt to be "top tier" examples as far as content was concerned. Of course every collector has their own personal parameters of what would be considered a top tier example of any strip, but for me and Cisco, "pretty females" never even made it onto my list of parameters. It's interesting, because for almost any other strip that interests me, I view having a pretty/sexy female on an example as being a nice bonus. But for some reason, when it comes to Cisco I just don't care if a pretty gal is on a given daily.

I think it's because when I think of the old west, it's really just the dirt roads, horses and tough hombres that epitomizes western art in my mind. That's not to say I'd turn down an example with a pretty gal in it, it's just that having great images of Cisco in that beautifully embroidered black shirt takes precedence, and so does trying to get examples with native Americans, which strangely enough are actually pretty darn rare given that westerns are all about "cowboys and indians". Anyway, all that being said, and my content preferences aside Wally, this is a spectacular example insofar as the quality of the illustration is concerned. Just beautiful!
