Fox Feature Syndicate · Cody of the Pony Express #1 · September 1950 · 10¢ · 52 pages

Grade: G/VG 3.0

Creator credits for this issue are not confirmed in available reference sources.

Specific story titles, plot details, and interior credits for this issue are not confirmed in available reference sources. What is documented: this is issue #1 of Fox Feature Syndicate's Western series built around a Pony Express rider — frontier adventure territory in the mold Fox was working across their late-Golden Age output.

Fox Feature Syndicate was winding down hard by 1950 — the EC and Comics Code pressures hadn't hit yet, but the market was shifting and Fox was already stretched thin. This series ran only a handful of issues, making #1 copies genuinely scarce regardless of grade. Western titles from Fox at this stage rarely surface in any condition.
