Tex Ritter Western #44

Tex Ritter blocks the street to prevent the Lawson gang from escaping town, engaging in a gunfight with six-gun lightning and blazing colts. The issue also includes "The Missing Marksman," a historical account by Rudolph Friederich Kurz, a Swiss artist who traveled the western trading posts between 1846 and 1852, detailing his frontier adventures and encounters with Native Americans, buffalo hunts, and the dangers of the wilderness. A secondary Tex Ritter story features the prairie ranger pursuing a nogales kid and a gringo lawman through dangerous terrain, with Tex ultimately triumphing after a climactic confrontation.
