Tex Ritter Western #30

Charlton's Tex Ritter Western #30 puts the real-life singing cowboy right in the thick of frontier danger — the cover by Stan Campbell shows Tex crouched among rocky terrain and tree roots, two six-shooters drawn and ready, while a Native warrior watches from the ridge above. Campbell's linework captures the tension of that tense standoff with solid, grounded confidence that was a hallmark of 1955 Charlton western comics. At just a dime, this Comics Code–approved issue delivers the rugged frontier atmosphere that made Tex Ritter one of the era's most recognizable western heroes on both screen and page.
