Tex Ritter Western #31
This issue contains two stories. The main story features Tex Ritter as a Prairie Ranger who encounters a guitar player and a gang of varmints; when the gang captures the guitar player and takes him hostage, Tex rallies a posse to pursue and stop them, ultimately apprehending the outlaws and securing the prisoner's release. The issue also includes an educational feature on "The Cowboy Saddle" detailing the origins and evolution of Mexican and American saddle designs, as well as a humorous backup story, "Chuck Wagon Gus," in which a cook's encounter with a frog leads to comic misadventure when the amphibian's good fortune creates unexpected complications.
