Rocky Lane Western #77

Rocky Lane must handle trouble in his territory when an outsider challenges his authority, threatening to take over the region and prove that even the strongest lawman cannot maintain order. The issue includes an instructional feature, "Roping 'n' Riding with Rocky Lane and Black Jack," which explains bog-riding—the dangerous technique of rescuing cattle stuck in mud using a horse and rope. A humorous subplot depicts a confrontation between characters over spelling and education, with someone insisting that an uneducated individual cannot possibly misspell words correctly.
