Gene Autry Comics #95

Dell's long-running Gene Autry Comics wraps up January 1955 with a cover that puts the "Singing Cowboy" front and center — literally. A color photograph of Gene Autry himself graces the cover, showing him poised confidently on what appears to be a wooden porch or staircase railing, dressed in an embroidered Western shirt, vest, pinstripe trousers, and ornate cowboy boots, with a revolver drawn and a cool, assured smile on his face. It's a handsome, vivid snapshot of mid-1950s Western entertainment that captures exactly why Autry was one of the era's most beloved figures, and the story title "Gene Autry Bulldozes the Crooks" promises plenty of action inside.
