Gene Autry Comics #96

This February 1955 Dell issue puts Gene Autry front and center in a striking photo-style cover, crouched low behind a rocky ledge with his revolver drawn and a steely, determined look in his eyes — every inch the cool-headed cowboy hero. His ornately embroidered red Western shirt adds a vivid splash of color against the wide open sky, making for a cover that practically leaps off the newsstand. Inside, the story "Gene Autry and the Disappearing Raiders" promises the kind of Western mystery and action that made this series a staple of 1955 comic racks.
