Texas Rangers in Action #51

Right at the Texas-Mexico border marker, a sombrero-wearing outlaw on horseback levels his gun at a blond Ranger while taunting "Goodbye, Yankee!" — and a band of riders looms menacingly in the murky background. Charlton's Texas Rangers in Action #51 from 1965 captures that classic frontier tension of lawmen working right up to the edge of their jurisdiction, teased by the cover blurb promising a story of "Border Jumpers" who exploit the line between nations. Rocco "Rocke" Mastroserio's cover art delivers a vivid snapshot of the dangers these Rangers faced, and with Joe Gill writing and Charles Nicholas on interior art, the storytelling inside promises to be just as gripping.
