John Wayne Adventure Comics #27

The issue contains at least two stories: "Dew on the Rawhide," in which a narrator describes encountering death personified as a creature with green eyes and fangs in the mountains before riding into Tasco, and "West of Saigon," featuring John Wayne becoming involved with fighting cocks and meeting a man named Mr. Esposito who needs a trustworthy companion. A humorous backup feature titled "The Eggplantlings" depicts comical misadventures of small creatures in a frontier setting, including encounters with a gun-shy horse and various ranching mishaps.
