Straight Arrow #19

From the pages of radio fame comes Straight Arrow, and Fred Meagher's cover for this November 1951 issue captures the hero in full, dynamic action — mounted on his striking dark horse, physically grappling with a buffalo-hide-wearing adversary as a second rider closes in from behind. The cover's energy and bold colors make it easy to see why Magazine Enterprises' western hero connected so strongly with audiences of the era, translating all the excitement of the radio program into vivid four-color life.
