Saturday Morning Westerns - Roy Rogers
Mood:  vegas lucky
Topic: Comic Book History

Roy Rogers,

King of the Cowboys...

 

...in the Westerns and on TV also had a couple of series of comic books from  Dell Comics.

The 'Roy Rogers Comics' series ran for 145 issues from January 1948 to September 1961.

There had been a few 'Four Color Comics' from the Dell series #2 prior to Dell giving Roy his own title, prior to 1948.

Roy Roger's horse Trigger received his own title running for 17 issues from September 1951 to June 1955. 

I was born in the early 1950's so caught a lot of westerns on TV during their heyday and later in the theatrical movies of the 1960's especially John Wayne and Audie Murphy flicks.

Of all the singing cowboys my favorite was Roy Rogers and his troupe, one member of which was Gabby Hayes. 

Gabby Hayes was in 40 westerns between 1939 to 1946, usually with Roy Rogers, Gene Autry, or Wild Bill Elliott ! 

So far there are not too many Roy Rogers comics submitted for third party grading. It appears that only the comics thought to be in really high grade are being submitted... so this would be a title or genre that is still affordable and readable since they would not be encapsulated!!

For those interested in Roy Rogers Comics run we have several unslabbed  comics listed in our eBay Featured Store.

Thanks for reading this pop culture / comic book blog post, and feel free to comment below!
