Gene Autry Comics #61

This March 1952 Dell issue puts the Singing Cowboy front and center in a tense photo cover — Gene Autry, in his signature red embroidered western shirt and white hat, disarms a masked outlaw against a backdrop of an Old West town street. The back cover offers a warm contrast, with a smiling Autry posed alongside his handsome chestnut horse, the image complete with a printed facsimile signature. With a story titled "The Devil's Grave" waiting inside, this is a fine snapshot of early-fifties western comics at their most charming.
