Matt Slade Gunfighter #4
"Border Raiders!" in Matt Slade Gunfighter #4 (1957) delivers a brief but vivid glimpse into the cultural significance of the maguey plant, illustrated with care in a short text piece that highlights its many uses among indigenous Mexican communities. The interior art, credited to an unlisted illustrator and inker, complements the informative narrative, while the cover by John Severin—pencils and inks both—captures the rugged spirit of the Western genre with his signature detail.
