Tom Mix Western (1948 Fawcett) 23

Painted cover by Norman Saunders. Stories and art by Carl Pfeufer and Al Liederman. Silent-movie cowboy Tom Mix became a pop-culture icon with his 1940s radio show and this tie-in comic. Tom finds the entire town of Dobie in an uproar. Rustlers disguise themselves as lawmen and steal the cattle from other rustlers, a new scheme if we've ever seen one. Tom investigates after he witnesses a wagon crash off a cliff, but a masked gunman doesn't want him examining the site. Painted cover by Norman Saunders is like Norman Rockwell at a dude ranch.
