Rocky Lane Western #50

Republic Pictures' star Rocky Lane stares down trouble from a log doorway on this June 1953 Fawcett issue, his hand resting on a holstered revolver and a second gun drawn and ready — the very picture of a cowboy who means business. The cover announces that he "Tangles with the Wrangler!" and a small action vignette in the corner teases the confrontation to come, while the bold promise of "More Pages of Stories!" sweetens the deal. Fans of the B-Western hero and his stallion Black Jack had every reason to grab this one off the spinner rack.
