Jimmy Wakely #6

Promising 52 big pages of Western adventure for a dime, this July–August 1950 DC issue puts Hollywood's sensational cowboy star Jimmy Wakely front and center in a tense photo cover shot: he's braced against a wooden wall, rifle raised toward a broken window, while a determined young woman kneels beside him reloading a pistol, spent cartridges scattered nearby. The cover, credited to Theda Hall and Emerson Hall, captures that classic mid-century Western spirit of two people holding their ground under pressure. Inside, Martin Naydel handles the full creative load — writing, art, inking, and lettering — on "The Two Lives of Jimmy Wakely!" and the rest of the issue's action-packed stories on high adventure on Western trails.
