Gene Autry Comics #97

This 1955 Dell issue brings America's Singing Cowboy to life through a striking photo cover, showing Gene Autry astride his handsome palomino-maned horse, revolver drawn as he peers cautiously around a stone wall — the tension of a cautious ambush perfectly captured. The story inside, "Gene Autry and Frozen Gold," promises the kind of rugged Western adventure that made this series a staple of mid-1950s comics racks. At just ten cents, it's a snapshot of Western storytelling at its most vibrant.
