Tex Ritter Western #4

Fawcett's Tex Ritter Western #4 from April 1951 puts the singing cowboy star front and center in a warm photo cover — hat tilted just right, red bandana knotted at the collar, and a relaxed grin that makes the whole thing feel like a Saturday-matinee handshake. The bold cover blurb promises "The Jaws of Terror" inside, hinting at the kind of frontier suspense that made these ten-cent Westerns such a reliable treat. A fine snapshot of early-'50s cowboy comics at their most cheerful and unpretentious.
