Tex Ritter Western #18

Tex Ritter Western #18 brings the silver screen cowboy to the printed page with a striking photo cover — Tex crouches among the rocky terrain, pistol in hand, while his trusty white horse peers over the boulder behind him. The cover promises "The Perils of the Prairie Ranger," hinting at danger on the open range, and the bold boast of "More Pages of Stories" means plenty of Western adventure for that 1953 dime. It's a handsome snapshot of mid-century cowboy comics at their most earnest and entertaining.
