Jimmy Wakely #7

Straight from Hollywood's range to your reading stack, Jimmy Wakely #7 (1950) brings 52 big pages of Western adventure under a warm, sun-drenched photo cover showing the singing cowboy star himself astride a chestnut horse, exchanging a friendly smile with a smartly dressed cowgirl in a white hat and studded vest. The promise of "Action-Packed Stories of High Adventure on Western Trails!" is more than banner copy — inside, Gardner Fox scripts and Frank Frazetta illustrates, a pairing that gives the frontier tales real punch. At a dime a copy, this September–October 1950 issue delivered an awful lot of West for the money.
