Roy Rogers and Trigger #138

A striking photo cover sets the tone for this 1960 Dell Western Adventure, showing Roy Rogers and a younger companion — identified by the cover text as Dusty — standing alert on rocky ground, each gripping a rifle and scanning the horizon with quiet resolve. The cover teaser promises an exotic change of scenery: Roy and Dusty fighting for their lives against pirates in Egypt, a globe-trotting twist that pairs nicely with the interior story title "Haboob and High Water." At a dime a copy, this issue delivers the dependable, adventurous spirit that made Roy Rogers and Trigger a staple of early 1960s comics reading.
