Rocky Lane Western #48

This Fawcett publication from 1953 brings Republic Pictures star Rocky Lane to life in a striking photo cover, showing the confident cowboy astride his stallion Black Jack in front of a Stage Depot — the kind of sun-drenched Western scene that made these photo comics irresistible on the newsstand. A small inset at the bottom teases "Assignment: Peril!", hinting at the action-packed stories waiting inside for just a dime. With the promise of "More Pages of Stories," issue #48 delivers solid Western adventure built around one of the era's most recognizable cowboy stars.
