Originally created and written by Ed Leffingwell and later by his brother, Robert, the story focused on Little Joe, a thirteen-year-old boy who lived in a world of danger. Upon his father's murder, Little Joe is tasked with running the Oak Ranch alongside his mother and their helper, Utah, a white-moustached former gunslinger. The comic focused on Little Joe navigating life while coming into conflict with outlaws, politicians, corrupt businessmen.
