Like her King of the Cowboys husband, Dale Evans had her own comic book. Unlike Roy Rogers, however, whose comic book character was a cowboy hero; Dale's comic book persona was based loosely on her real career - a western movie actress who got into various adventures in each issue. In this
1948 issue, posted on
Pappy's Golden Age Comics Blogzine, Dale gets roped into being a substitute teacher for a bunch of rowdy adult cowboys, one of which is secretly a bandit. After failing to control the class on her first day, she dresses in a more alluring fashion to keep her student's attention. For those of you who may remember Dale Evans as somewhat matronly in her later days, bear in mind that she had a showbiz career before donning a fringed shirt and cowboy hat, including being a big band siren as demonstrated in the photo.
