Texas Rangers in Action #12

A star-badged Texas Ranger dominates this 1958 Charlton cover, his grip firm on a struggling, wide-eyed outlaw as a drawn pistol makes the lawman's authority unmistakable — with a hangman's noose coiled along the left border for good measure. Maurice Whitman's cover art delivers a tense, no-nonsense confrontation that sets the tone for the "Action Thrills" promised in the masthead. At 68 all-new pages for just 15 cents, this is a genuinely generous slab of frontier justice anchored by interior work from Joe Gill and Pete Morisi.
