Number 773
"B" is for...Bullseye
This is the end of my Plan B comics week, and as weakly linked as the theme is, at least we're going out strong. Here are a couple of Jack Kirby stories from Bullseye #3, 1954. His Western hero with a target on his chest had a short-lived career, but if these stories are any indication of the other issues, it's a series worth remembering.
I've included the two-page origin of Bullseye, which wasn't drawn by Kirby.
Something I noticed is the bizarre coloring. Tell me what would happen in the real West if some cowpokes had ridden in to town with bright, multi-colored Stetsons? "YEEEEEE-HAW! Grab a rope!"
Note: The Grand Comics Database lists the first five issues of this title as Bulls Eye, published by Mainline, and then the two Charlton issues as Bullseye.

Kirby ould do it all, and made it all Kirby.
Jeff, you might agree with me the mark of a good comic artist was the ability to draw in any genre. Kirby could do all of them.
And agree I do.
Kirby was a true drawing machine (artist)...no genre crutches.
Pretty cool character - any more of him?
