 A comic book version of this film was published in conjunction with  the films release, as was the practice back then with all family  and childrens films. In the comic book, when Sheriff Ramsay  (Lee J. Cobb (qv)) tries to prevent Zeb Rawlings  (George Peppard (qv)) from going after the outlaw Gant  (Eli Wallach (qv)), Rawlings whacks Ramsay over the head with his  rifle and knocks him unconscious, which explains the bandage on  Ramsays forehead in the next scene. No such explanation is offered  in the film; it is as if somebody had edited something out.
