Can you identify the classic TV show by its comic book adaptation?

Try not to draw a blank.

 
The Comics Code Authority changed everything in 1954. Prior to the self-regulation, the comic book industry pumped out lurid crime and horror comics. After the Comics Code, comics cleaned up.

Instead of mobsters and ghouls, superheroes and television characters filled the four-color pages. The imprints Dell and Gold Key mined most of TV for ideas. 

Tons of TV shows — from sitcoms and dramas to Westerns and sci-fi — were adapted as comic books. Let's see if you can recognize some favorite characters in printed form.

Try to match the comic book panels to the TV show. Good luck!

13/13 I was almost confused with #8 I almost thought the first drawing was supposed to be Hoss as the second drawing depicted the girl turning behind her speaking to Hoss...Oh boy! Lol

You got 13 out of 13
When it comes to comic books, you're a true hoss! Or, well, Ben Cartwright in this case.

Many Dell/Gold Key were drawn by Dan Spiegle. Many issues of Star Trek were drawn by Alden (Al) McWilliams.
