When movie cowboy Tom Mix's radio show hit it big, sponsor Ralston Purina offered Tom Mix Comics by mail for two boxtops of any Ralston cereal. The art, often uncredited, is exceptionally nice in this series. Two-Spot Jake decides the best way to get at Tom is to kidnap Tony the Wonder Horse. Miserly Uncle Amos wants to save money for the Fumble family by cutting down a Christmas tree himself, and hilarity ensues, in a story with art by comics legend Charles Biro. Tom scours the Badlands for the outlaw known only as La Puma, who leaves destruction in his wake. Plus activities pages, magic tricks, and a feature on how to make your own color comics. And a vintage ad for Ralston cereal prizes, including a 48-star American flag and a battery-operated telegraph. Action-packed cover by Fred Meagher. The Lost Trail of Tony; The Fumble Family with Amos Q. Snood; My Favorite Magic Tricks; Sure as Shootin'; Jane's Page; Jane of Dream Castle; Stubby and His Straight Shooter Pals; Straight Shooters Keep Busy; La Puma: Scourge of the Badlands; Trailing Ahead with the Old Wrangler. 36 pages, Full Color.
