Gene Autry Comics #1

In "The Mark of the Cloven Hoof," Gene Autry races to clear his name after being framed for a series of murders committed by the sinister Rankin Dole, who dons a fearsome Cloven Hoof disguise. With help from a hidden pitchblende mine and a daughter raised in captivity, Gene uncovers the truth and breaks free to stop Dole’s deadly scheme. Illustrated by L. Bing in this 1941 Fawcett classic, the story blends Western suspense with a touch of supernatural intrigue, all in a 10-cent comic that captures the era’s bold storytelling.
