View scanStories and art by Ralph Carlson and others. Movie cowboy Allan "Rocky" Lane roams the West with a yen for justice. In an issue-length story, Rocky tries to prevent hostilities between sheep herders and cattle ranchers from erupting into a full-on range war, in a tale that includes this great opening caption: "Sheep vs. Cattle - Fanning the embers of hair-trigger tempers into a flaming range war in which quarter was neither asked nor given - with grim Dame Nature waiting on the sidelines to strike in reclamation of her frontiers. Such was the raging battle for survival that sent the indomitable Rocky Lane plunging rough-shod into a maelstrom of thundering hooves and blazing six-guns...!" It's like poetry! Plus photo pinups of Rocky and his movie horse, Black Jack. Range Justice; Haunted Ranch; Slim Pickens: The Clothes Horse; The Unknown Assailant; Heady Eddie. 48 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
