Tex Ritter Western #40

This April 1958 Charlton issue places "The Greatest Fighting Law Man of the West" front and center, with Tex astride his white horse and a snarling wolf at his side — while a red-shirted gunman crouches behind the rocks with a pistol drawn, setting up a tense standoff on the open frontier. Maurice Whitman's cover art captures that classic Western tension perfectly, pitting cool confidence against cornered desperation. With Joe Gill writing and Charles Nicholas penciling the interior story "Scared But Dangerous," this ten-cent gem delivers exactly the breathtaking action its banner promises.
