Trail Colt #2 — VG- (3.5)
Magazine Enterprises, 1949
Golden Age · Western / Crime / Adventure · 32 pages · 10¢ cover price
Trail Colt #2 is an early Golden Age anthology issue from Magazine Enterprises, featuring a striking Graham Ingels cover and a diverse lineup of Western and adventure stories. Sometimes cataloged under A1 Comics numbering, this issue reflects the flexible anthology format common to the publisher, with content shifting from issue to issue.
Interior work includes early art by Dick Ayers, L. B. Cole, and Ogden Whitney, all of whom would go on to become influential figures in postwar comics. Stories range from Western outlaw tales to crime and mystery features, including appearances by Fallon of the F.B.I., Undercover Girl, Red Fox, and Kirk of Scotland Yard. These Magazine Enterprises books were heavily circulated and are increasingly difficult to find in presentable condition.
A solid example of late-1940s genre comics, appealing to collectors of Golden Age Westerns, anthology titles, and early work by key artists.
Maj. Picto’s Grading Notes:
VG- (3.5). Moderate wear consistent with the grade, centerfold detached with general handling and age-related wear typical of late-1940s comics. Overall presentation remains intact with honest Golden Age character.
