Roy Rogers and Trigger #137

This May-June 1960 Dell Western Adventure issue presents a warmly atmospheric photo cover: Roy Rogers, dressed in a plaid shirt and holstered sidearm, sits beside a young boy in a cowboy hat as the two share a quiet moment by the glow of an old lantern, resting against a hay bale. The scene has an easy, campfire intimacy that captures the spirit of the frontier camaraderie the series was known for. Inside, Nat Edson's artwork brings the stories to life — including the intriguingly titled "Royal Treasures of Ancient Egypt," which promises an adventure well beyond the usual range.
