Texas Rangers in Action #46

Charlton's Texas Rangers in Action #46 (September 1964) puts Texas Ranger Rowland front and center on a cover penciled and inked by Dick Giordano — a lean, determined lawman in a yellow shirt, dark vest, and wide-brimmed hat, gripping a rifle with his star badge gleaming as he steels himself for trouble. The cover copy sets the scene vividly: Weston, Texas was a quiet community until Rowland rode in on a warrant, only to find the little town turned into a battleground — a setup teased under the title "The Man with Misery." Inside, writer Joe Gill and artist Rocco "Rocke" Mastroserio bring their own grit to the frontier action with "Routine Check," making this a satisfying package of Western storytelling at a 12-cent price point.
