The Texas Ranger editors

[50Cent #II (1st print)]

I recall reading about the editors of The Texas Ranger, but forget where I read it (Rebel Visions?).  But reading the back cover of Charlatan #1 (1963), it states Lieuen Adkins for 1963, but I don't recognize this name.  Anyone have any info?  I know Frank Stack and Gilbert Shelton both were editors on TR also...

Adkins died in the 1980s.  The Ranger guys and a bunch of old Texas folks from that era lived in a building that they called "the ghetto".  If you do a google search for "gilbert shelton" +helmer +ghetto, their webpages should turn up.  The old ghetto people are still in contact thru the web...and there is probably an obit for Adkins on their pages.

Looks like there was a website once at www.texasghetto.com, but it's no longer up.  Here's a reference I found in a book that's on my Amazon want list.

Pat Brown did a strip that was in the Ranger of Wonder Warthog as a baby called Wonder Wartpiglet.  It might have been reprinted in Charlatan.  I guess that's where Archie comics got the idea for Little Archie...and the Muppets got the idea for Muppet Babies.  I think Jim Hensen was at Harvard then...Didn't he work on the Harvard Lampoon?
