Gene Autry Comics #6

Gene Autry rides hard on this vivid 1943 Fawcett cover, dressed in his signature red shirt and white hat, one arm raised in a cheerful wave as a runaway stagecoach and pursuing riders thunder through a rocky canyon behind him. Till Goodan's confident linework gives the scene real kinetic energy — lasso coiled at the ready, dust flying, the whole Southwest feeling alive with urgency. With the story title "Outlaw Round-Up" promising frontier action, this is a fine snapshot of wartime cowboy comics done with genuine craft and style.
