Four Color #144

In "Roy Rogers on the Apache Trail," the cowboy rides into a tense standoff after uncovering stolen goods from a train robbery by Apaches, only to find a pocket watch belonging to an old friend. The discovery puts him at odds with a sheriff and his posse, who see his possession of the watch as damning evidence—though the truth of his innocence remains to be proven. Written by Gaylord Du Bois and illustrated by Erwin Hess, Jesse Marsh, and Irwin Myers, with inks by Hess, Marsh, and Myers, this 1947 adventure blends frontier suspense with the familiar charm of Roy Rogers. The cover by Erwin Hess captures the rugged drama of the moment.
