Roy Rogers Comics #3

This March 1948 Dell issue features a warm, confident photo cover of Roy Rogers himself — dressed in an ornate embroidered western shirt, dark vest, and a handsome grey cowboy hat — leaning casually against a beautifully studded saddle draped with a patriotic blanket. That easy smile and rodeo-ready gear capture exactly the charm that made Roy Rogers a household name in the late 1940s. Inside, writer Gaylord Du Bois and artist/inker Harry Parkhurst bring the adventure with "Roy Rogers in Death Warrant for Five," promising the kind of western storytelling that kept young readers coming back every month.
