Well, Bill, my ranch'll keep me pretty busy, but I'd like to do my bit for law and order. I accept.
— Buck Jones src

Bill Crane was a frontier marshal in the days of the Old West.

In the 19th Century frontier town of Big Savage, out in the American Old West, Marshal Ned Crane was gunned down by bandits, and his son, Bill Crane took over as Marshal.


Abilities


  • The creator(s) of this article's subject cannot currently be verified. This is usually because its first appearance was in a Golden Age comic book story without credits. Comics historians have been able to determine the creative teams for many said stories, but far from all of them.
  • This version of Bill Crane, including all history and corresponding appearances, was erased from existence following the collapse of the original Multiverse in the 1985–86 Crisis on Infinite Earths event and later restored following the rebirth of the infinite Multiverse during the Dark Crisis of 2022–2023. Even though other versions of the character may have appeared, this information does not apply to those versions.
  • After Master Comics #5, the Frontier Marshal feature changed some things, and did not change others:
    • The Marshal was now Buck Jones instead of Bill Crane, and the bad guys were now the Cantrell gang instead of the Trask gang.
    • The town was still called Big Savage and the sidekick deputy was still called Mesquite Mike.
  • In Master Comics #6, Bill Crane turns over the feature to Buck Jones, in-story.
