Gene Autry Comics #31

In "Gene Autry Rides Alone," the singing cowboy takes on a desperate mission when escaped convicts hold a merchant's boy hostage after robbing a dry-goods store. With the sheriff and posse pinned in a canyon by sharpshooters above, Gene Autry goes it alone—circling behind the outlaws, sneaking into their hidden cabin, rescuing the boy, and orchestrating a daring plan that leaves the villains outnumbered and outmaneuvered. Written by Gaylord Du Bois and illustrated by Jesse Marsh, this 1949 adventure from Dell Comics delivers classic Western tension with a touch of frontier heroism, all wrapped in a cover by Jesse Marsh.
