Texas Rangers in Action #42

This November 1963 Charlton entry puts the tension front and center: cover artist Dick Giordano stages a taut street showdown between a shadowy gunslinger leveling his revolver and a younger man in a red shirt standing his ground, with the caption promising a vengeance years in the making — "it was showdown time." Writer Joe Gill and artist Pete Morisi bring the featured story, "Trouble Man," to life inside, delivering the kind of gritty Western drama that made Texas Rangers in Action a reliable 12-cent treat for frontier-adventure fans.
