Gene Autry Comics #51

This May 1951 Dell issue puts America's Singing Cowboy front and center in a striking photo cover — Gene Autry stands alert in his signature blue western shirt, red kerchief, and white Stetson, one hand resting near the revolver at his hip. The no-nonsense stance perfectly sets the tone for "The Land Lottery" waiting inside across a generous 52 pages of all-comics content. A great snapshot of Dell's western storytelling at its early-'50s best.
