Summary:
"Now for the first time an in-depth collection surveying the greatest cowboy strip to grace newspapers, Roy Rogers. See the adventures of Roy Rogers, Dale Evans, and Trigger in both the black-and-white daily strips and twelve complete full-color continuities of the Sundays. Presented in this volume is the complete work of Silver Age master Alex Toth on the title. Also featured is artwork by Mike Arens, Pete Alvardo, and Tom, Chuck, and Bob McKimson. During the 1950's Roy Rogers was one of the most widely read newspaper comic strips in America and this volume presents a representative sampling covering the entire 12-year run of the title. This book, as with all Hermes Press' comic book and strip reprints, presents a detailed essay about the strip's history, written by comics historian Tim Lasuita, accompanied by artwork, movie posters, advertising, and toys"--Publisher.
