Texas Rangers in Action #44

Two Texas Rangers find themselves pinned down under heavy fire on this 1964 Charlton cover — one leveling his revolver while sparks and explosions erupt around them both, the urgency captured in their exchange: "If we don't get at that posse soon… we're both goners!" The featured story, "Yellow Death," promises a tale of gold-baited treachery, and the cover art by Pat Masulli and Dick Giordano delivers real tension in every flying bullet and desperate crouch. Written by Joe Gill with interior art by Charles Nicholas and Vince Alascia, this issue shows Charlton's western line at its gritty, hard-riding best.
