Tex Ritter Western #21

The cover of this 1954 Charlton issue puts you right in the action — Tex Ritter crouches behind a rocky outcropping, revolver drawn and eyes locked on some unseen threat with cool, focused determination. It's a tense, grounded western moment that perfectly sets the mood for the story inside, "Tex Ritter and the Rodeo Murder." And with the cover boasting "More Pages of Stories," readers were getting real value for their dime.
