Nope. It is indeed a real life villain, however!

I googled Spurs Jackson and got a whole lot of hits about an athlete named Steve Jackson. I did finally googled Spurs Jackson comic bookd and found the answer. I will let others try to guess the answer.

Nobody's got it so far! (I actually thought Cobie would know this!)
Spurs was the star of a genre-bending title published by Charlton in the 1950s!

If Spurs is the Charleton character I think he is, I at least can go in the right direction, though I honestly have no idea.
Hitler?

And Cobie has it!
Spurs Jackson was the star of the short-lived Space Western Comics!
After several issues of fighting Nazis on Mars, he finally tracked Hitler down on an asteroid for their final showdown!

It's one of those comics that I'm kind of scared to ever actually read, because it just sounds so cool, the actual product can't possibly live up to its coolness potential!

Once you said Charlton & genre-bending, I remembered the awesome space-western title they had, though I couldn’t for the life of me remember the name was ‘Spurs Jackson’ before. It was a sci-fi / western story but I remember the Nazis were involved a little. Hitler was a guess, but an informed one. Hitler surprisingly (or maybe not so much) shows up in science-fiction a lot in the 1950’s. I've never read it either but know of it because Charlton is a company my father and I always loved. It really sounds like an awesome comic! I humbly suggest DC ask Darwyn Cooke to revamp it!  Which western hero’s recurring motif was to smash a musical instrument over their enemy’s head, month-in and month-out?

I'm assuming the answer isn't "El Kabong"?

That was going to be my guess. Wait EDE is guessing that it isn't EL Kabong. So I can still guess that it is El Kabong aka Quickdraw McGraw. I guess El Kabong.

In either case, it isn't El Kablong. So, er, I guess EDE is right, though he doesn't answer the question.

The problem with a hint is once I give one, you'll get it instantly. So I'll try to be vague: it's a DC character.
