Rocky Lane Western #15

This July 1950 Fawcett issue features a striking photo cover of Republic Pictures' star Rocky Lane in a wide-legged gunfighter's stance on a wooden boardwalk, hand hovering over his drawn revolver as he presses against a brick building corner — every inch the quick-draw hero. The stallion Black Jack also gets a prominent billing, promising the beloved duo's full-color frontier action inside. With "The Outlaw Posse!" teased right on the cover, this ten-cent issue delivers the kind of rugged Western excitement that made Rocky Lane Western a Saturday-matinee dream come to life on the comics page.
