The series premiered in
1960. Stopped in 1962 after 11 issues.
The series stars a professional gunfighter known
only as Paladin, who, after the Civil War, offers his services
via a business card containing the title's catchphrase. His base
is Hotel Carlton in San Francisco, where he lives the good life
and is often mistaken for a dandy. When he is hired for a
mission he dresses as a typical gunman and goes to work.
Untypically for that kind of occupation, Paladin prefers to
settle problems without violence.
The
series is based on a TV series that ran from 1957 to 1963. It
was titled slightly different as Have Gun - Will Travel.
