Zane Grey's Stories of the West #34

In "Saguaro National Monument," a 1957 Dell Western tale by Gaylord Du Bois with art by Al Micale, a former outlaw known only as C. E. Bolton—once a meticulous thief who left poems in empty express boxes—reemerges under a new identity. Now a schoolteacher named Boles, he’s trying to leave his past behind, but the desert’s quiet shadows still hold secrets that could unravel his present. The story unfolds with quiet tension, grounded in the stark landscape of the Southwest, and features a cover by Sam Savitt that captures the era’s classic Western mood.
