Texas Rangers in Action #54

A tense street confrontation anchors this 1966 Charlton western, with cover pencils by Pat Masulli and inks by Rocco Mastroserio bringing the drama to life. A Texas Ranger in a red shirt kneels in the dirt, his badge visible, as a villainous hand thrusts a revolver toward him while a crowd of onlookers jeers — speech balloons crying "Yeller!" and "He's a coward!" cutting right to the heart of the cover's theme. The story inside, "Dead Ringer," is written by Joe Gill with art by Charles Nicholas and inks by Vince Alascia, making this a solid creative team delivering classic frontier tension at twelve cents.
