Roy Rogers and Trigger #105

This September 1956 Dell issue pairs the King of the Cowboys with his famous golden palomino in a photo cover that captures the pair mid-ride, Roy decked out in his fringed western shirt and white hat, resting a steady hand on Trigger's neck. The warm, sun-dappled setting gives the whole image an easy, confident charm that made these photo covers so appealing to young readers of the era. Inside, Gaylord Du Bois pens "Ghost Bullets" with interior art by John Buscema and inks by Mario Acquaviva — a fine creative team for a ten-cent adventure on the range.
