Texas Rangers in Action #28

Charlton's Texas Rangers in Action #28 (June 1961) puts the law squarely on the line with a tense saloon confrontation — cover artist Rocco "Rocke" Mastroserio places a powerful Ranger in an orange shirt at the center, fists clenched and ready, as armed outlaws crowd in from one side and a crouching figure takes cover near the bar. A sneering gunman delivers the taunt in the speech bubble — "This town belongs to us!" — making it clear the featured story, "The Ranger's Badge," is going to test exactly what that badge stands for. Still priced at just a dime, this is a sharp slice of 1961 Western comics done with real punch.
