Dale Evans

Dale Evans was the real-life actress, singer, and rodeo queen whose life and career were celebrated in Dell's biographical comics. Best known as the 'Queen of the West' and partner to Roy Rogers, she appeared in comics drawn from her authentic Hollywood and Western entertainment story.

Few figures from the Golden Age carry the genuine star power of Dale Evans, who made her comics debut in Real Fact Comics #13 in 1948, brought to the page by the creative team of Jack Schiff, Mort Weisinger, and Howard Sherman. Published by Dell — a house with a proud tradition of Western and real-life heroes — she anchored her own titles, most notably Queen of the West Dale Evans and Dale Evans Comics, a distinction that speaks volumes about her draw with readers. Across nearly five decades of publication, she shares her adventures with the likes of Roy Rogers, Trigger, and Bullet, keeping remarkable company throughout a run that stretches all the way to 1999. With a key issue among her 28 catalogued appearances and a legacy that spans from the Golden Age to the cusp of the 21st century, Dale Evans is a Western comics treasure well worth seeking out on any collector's shelf.
