Saturday Night Movie Double Double Feature

Tonight we've got a Double Feature, in two meanings of the phrase. There's the obvious Two Movies meaning with a pair of old RKO Radio Picture features, and the less obvious reference to the dual nature of our titles tonight - both Movies and Un-Comics.
Tonight's movies are comic adaptations that ran in Cavalcade magazine back in 1948. For a while in the late 1940s, they adapted a movie every month. Then they branched out into original comics. Of course, we'll be seeing more of them here over time.

Tonight, however, we've got a couple of big ones - Return Of The Bad Men starring Randolph Scott

(pause for salute)

...Robert Ryan, and Ann Jeffries, followed by Fort Apache with John Wayne, Henry Fonda, and Shirley Temple. Both adaptations are drawn by Phil Belbin.
I hope you've got the popcorn ready...
