Stories and art by Charles Biro, August Froehlich, Stan Schendel, and Fred Meagher. 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. A mysterious wave of cattle rustling plagues the ranchers of Dobie, and only Tom Mix can find the culprits. The Fumble family deals with a visit from cantankerous, miserly Uncle Amos, in a story with art by comics legend Charles Biro. Tom tries to stop Black Bart's gang from holding up the train at Devil's Pass. Plus activities pages, magic tricks, and a somewhat spurious comics biography of screen legend and real-life cowboy Tom Mix. And a vintage ad for Ralston cereal prizes, including a 48-star American flag and a "pocket size camera." Ghost Canyon; The Fumble Family with Amos Q. Snood; My Favorite Magic Tricks; Sure as Shootin'; Jane's Page; Jane of Dream Castle; Straight Shooters Keep Busy; The Gunsight Holdup. 32 pages, Full Color.
