Series Name | Years in Print | Issues (Printings) |
A-1 {Comic Books}
Note: The first two issues are not numbered. The Kerry Drake no-numbered issue seems to be the first issue of the A-1 series, as the other no-numbered issue seems to match more closely the format of issues #3-10.
An A-1 logo appears on the cover of only issues #1-17.
All issues past #12 are dually-titled and are indexed under their other titles. See the issue records here for directions on where to find complete information on these issues.

Charles Starrett as the Durango Kid {Comic Books}
Note: Published in Spanish in the United States for domestic and Latin American distribution. Eventually Mexican publisher La Prensa took over the series.
