Gene Autry Comics #22

This December 1948 Dell issue brings the warmth and charm of the American West right to your hands, its photo cover capturing Gene Autry in a red plaid shirt and cowboy hat, riding his chestnut horse through a rustic stone archway with desert landscape behind them. The relaxed, sunny composition perfectly conveys the easygoing confidence that made Autry one of the most beloved cowboy stars of his era. Inside, the intriguingly titled "Claws of the Killer" promises the kind of Western adventure that kept young readers eagerly reaching for the next issue.
