# Gunsmoke Comics #

3 episodes.

The Gunsmoke radio version ran from 1952 to 1961 and, according to John Dunning, amongst old-time radio fans, "Gunsmoke is routinely placed among the best shows of any kind and any time." The television version ran from 1955 to 1975 and is the longest running prime time drama and the second-longest running prime time fictional program in U.S. television history, its record surpassed only by the Disney anthology television series and Hallmark Hall of Fame. Comic books based on the series were also published. Dell Comics put out five issues of their Four Color Comics series on Gunsmoke (issues #679, 720, 769, 797, 844). This was followed by Gunsmoke #6 thru 27 (1958 thru 62). Gold Key Comics continued it with #1 thru 6 in 1969 thru 70.

Nothing here is called public domain on this site's say-so. In the United States, sound recordings first fixed before 15 February 1972 have federal protection under the Music Modernization Act of 2018, for most until 2067 at the latest, so most American radio of the 1930s to the 1950s is not in the public domain there. Each set shows the licence, mark or statement its archive gives, and says whose it is.
