Six-Gun Heroes #31

Six-Gun Heroes #31 from Charlton brings together four of the West's most beloved cowboy stars — Lash LaRue, Rocky Lane, Tex Ritter, and Tom Mix — whose portrait medallions line the top of this 1954 cover, promising exactly what the tagline delivers: "All of your favorite stars in thrilling action!!!" The cover art by Dick Giordano and Vince Alascia puts that promise on vivid display, depicting a rugged brawl as a blue-hatted gunfighter trades blows with a brown-suited opponent while a third figure goes flying through the air amid a cloud of gunsmoke. At just ten cents, this Charlton anthology was a genuine roundup of Western excitement.
