    Published Mar 1951 by Fawcett.

    Stories and art by Bill Woolfolk, Leonard Frank and Carl Pfeufer. Fawcett's tales of Western heroes from folklore and the movies. The opening caption puts it best: "Gold! The glittering yellow metal which has set the hearts of men aflame with avarice from time immemorial! Because of one man's greed, Tex Ritter, the indomitable Prairie Ranger, must play a deadly game of hide and seek with The Killer of Nugget Creek." Gabby Hayes loses his hearing after being thrown into a trough by a bucking bronco, and an outlaw mistakes him for the town doctor and kidnaps him. Monte Hale discovers a legendary arrow that is sort of a Native American Sword in the Stone, and whoever pulls it from the rock is the new chieftain. Tex Ritter: The Killer of Nugget Creek; Bole and Weavel; Monte Hale: The Guardian of the Arrow; Slim Carson: Within the Skull; The Fat of the Land!; Gabby Hayes: Oh! Doctor!; Li'l Buck; Pop Potter; Big Bow and Little Arrow: Unwelcome Return; Cactus Brain; Tom Mix: The Perfect Alibi! 48 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
