This is a rare Roy Rogers first cover photo four – color Dell comic book, #38 – 1944, in good condition.
Dell Comics was the comic book publishing arm of Dell
Publishing, which got its start in pulp magazines.
It published comics from 1929 to 1974. At its peak, it was
the most prominent and successful American company
in the medium. In 1953 Dell claimed to be the world’s
largest comics publisher, selling 26 million copies each
month.
Its first title was The Funnies (1929), described by the
Library of Congress as "a short-lived newspaper tabloid
insert" rather than a comic book. Comics historian Ron
Goulart (below) describes the 16-page, four-color,
newsprint periodical as "more a Sunday comic section
without the rest of the newspaper than a true comic book.
