Gene Autry Comics #40

This cheerful Dell issue from 1950 features a photo cover of Gene Autry himself, white Stetson and plaid shirt, flanked by two handsome horses — one palomino, one chestnut — all three looking perfectly at ease together. The warm, relaxed pose captures the easygoing cowboy charm that made Autry a household name, and with 52 pages of all-comics content, there's plenty of Western adventure waiting inside. Nicholas Firfires handles the interior art, bringing stories like "The Taming of Brimstone" to life for a dime.
