Texas Rangers in Action #6

A posse of Texas Rangers charges across a dusty desert landscape on horseback — cactus-dotted terrain stretching behind them as the lead rider raises his arm in command — making for a vivid, kinetic cover from penciler Dick Giordano and inker Vince Alascia. This 1957 Charlton issue promises four tales, with story titles bannered across the bottom: "Six-Gun Do the Talk," "Too Young for a Badge," "Against Orders," and the evocatively named "Owlhooters' Paradise." At just a dime, it's a fine snapshot of Western anthology comics at their most straightforward and energetic.
