John Ford Silent Films Thesis

Appendix C – Research Materials

These are some of the title pages from the John Ford / Harry Carey Universal titles as adapted for the Boys’ Cinemacomics, published between 1919 and 1921. All of the films below are presumed lost, apart from The Judgement of the Desert, an alternative title for Hell Bent (1918).


These two images are from Harry Carey Junior’s private archive collection. The first still is from A Gun Fightin’ Gentleman (1919). The second shows Harry Carey on a promotional tour for Roped (1919).
