Rocky Lane Western #42

Rocky Lane strides front and center on this bold red cover, dressed in black and twin-holstered, with a confident grin that says trouble is exactly where he wants to be — and "Cayuga Treachery!" promises he'll find plenty of it. This October 1952 Fawcett issue spotlights the Republic Pictures star alongside his stallion Black Jack, bringing the energy of the Saturday matinee straight to the comics page. Ralph Carlson's cover work captures Lane's charismatic screen presence with striking clarity, making this a fine snapshot of early-'50s Western comics at their most crowd-pleasing.
