Dorado, El

    (Dell, 1966)
™ and ©1966 Paramount Pictures

Part of the Movie Classics series, El Dorado is one of the many John Wayne westerns directed by Howard Hawks. This time “The Duke” is paired up with drunken cowboy Robert Mitchum as they try to resolve a battle between Ed Asner and R.G. Armstrong. It’s typical “B” Western stuff upgraded to “A” level standards. The movie and this comic book adaptation were both released in 1967 and El Dorado is now considered one of the all-time cowboy classics!
