Stories and art by Al Liederman, Chad Grothkopf, Carl Pfeufer and Bill Brady. Silent-movie cowboy Tom Mix became a pop-culture icon with his 1940s radio show and this tie-in comic.

Outlaw "Red Bull" and his gang capture the Dobie town sheriff and plan to hang him, unless Tom can stop them. Plus Comix Cards (like the later Marvel Value Stamps) featuring the Marvel Family. Also, a vintage Tootsie Roll ad, Captain Tootsie Tames a Tornado, with art by Shazam co-creator CC Beck, and a hair-cream ad featuring detective Sam Spade.
