Texas Rangers in Action #9

A mounted Texas Ranger levels his pistol at a desperate gunman firing back from the rear platform of a moving stagecoach, with smoke and tension filling every inch of this 1957 Charlton cover penciled by Dick Giordano and inked by Vince Alascia. Three stories are promised inside — "Ranger Recruit," "Border Jumpers," and "Kelly's Castle" — written by Joe Gill with art by Dick Giordano, delivering exactly the kind of fast-moving Western action the cover banner advertises. For fans of mid-century frontier comics, this is a solid, handsomely produced package at its original ten-cent price point.
