Roy Rogers Comics #10
In "Roy Rogers and the War at Indian Creek," young Wildfire’s journey from the frozen wilderness to the safety of the Banks' ranch unfolds in this 1948 Dell classic. Written by Gaylord Du Bois and illustrated by Morris Gollub, the story follows the spirited colt’s trials—surviving a blizzard, evading capture, and facing a mountain lion—before finding refuge with Jimmy, who braves a dust storm and a treacherous sinkhole to save him. The cover by Morris Gollub captures the drama of the moment, a 10-cent adventure in a time when Westerns ruled the stands.
