According to Four Color Shadows, Roy Rogers was already in comic books by another publisher when this issue came out in 1947. It seems the publisher of this comic got around that problem by telling the true story of how Rogers got into acting and became the King of the Cowboys. In that way, the comic was essentially a biography of a public figure. This comic also includes Trigger, who was no stranger to the big screen even before Rogers bought him. Trigger's first major screen role, under his birth name Golden Cloud, was the mount for Maid Marion, played by Olivia de Haviland, in the 1938 film, The Adventures of Robin Hood with Errol Flynn.
