INCOMPLETE. Coupon cut from last page, affects art and story. Full length spine split. THIS ITEM IS INCOMPLETE: Please read item description carefully before ordering. This is a very low grade item. A comic in PR condition may be missing up to 4 pages (two spreads) of story pages or display severe damage that affects the readability of the book. Allowed defects for this grade include: fully or partially missing pages; water damage, staining, and brittleness; tape or sticker on the cover; writing or other marks on the cover; split or detached spine or centerfold; or other major structural damage and cosmetic flaws. Description 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.
