Roy Rogers Comics #82

This Dell Comics photo cover puts Roy Rogers right in the thick of the action, his cowboy hat firmly in place as he pins down an opponent in a tense, close-quarters struggle — the red fringe of his signature vest adding a flash of color to the scuffle. At just a dime, the 1954 issue pairs that rugged cover energy with an interior story by writer Gaylord Du Bois and artist John Buscema (inked by Mario Acquaviva) titled "Roy Rogers King of the Cowboys and the Vanished Ore." Whether you're a longtime fan of the King of the Cowboys or just discovering Dell's Western lineup, this is a fine snapshot of Roy Rogers Comics at its most spirited.
