Texas Rangers in Action #13

This October 1958 Charlton entry in the "Fast Moving Episodes of Texas Rangers in Action" series delivers exactly the frontier tension its title promises. Dick Giordano's cover art puts a badge-wearing Ranger front and center, rifle in hand and red bandana at his throat, squaring off against a blond-haired gunman in the foreground while a chaotic posse of masked outlaws on horseback churns up dust in the background. With Joe Gill writing and Pete Morisi handling art, inks, and lettering on the interior story "Pecos Law," this dime comic packs a full creative punch into every page.
