Gene Autry Comics #98

This April 1955 Dell Comic brings America's Singing Cowboy to life with a vivid photo cover showing Gene Autry — decked out in his signature embroidered blue western shirt and white hat — crouched alongside a young boy in a dark hat, both of them training their guns on some unseen threat. The tension and camaraderie between the two figures make for a wonderfully atmospheric cover, hinting at the western action waiting inside with "Trouble at the Elevator." At just a dime, this was prime Saturday-matinee entertainment translated straight to the comics page.
