Rocky Lane Western #24

Republic Pictures' star Rocky Lane sits astride his magnificent black stallion Black Jack on this striking photo cover, the two of them posed confidently in front of a dusty frontier townscape. It's a fine showcase for one of early 1950s Western comics' most appealing duos, and Fawcett packs the value in with a full 52 full-color pages featuring four adventures — "The Fatal Ferry," "Decoy for Death," "The King of the Rattlers," and "The Bronc Bandits." At a dime a copy in 1951, this was an easy sell for any young fan of the range.
