The Texan #15 - Matt Baker art & cover

The Texan #15, 1951 - Despite the title, it's odd that the last four covers of the series primarily feature indians.  Matt Baker's cover suggests a plot within an indian tribe, reflecting the theme of his interior story. His drawings are supple and streamlined, especially his opening scene of a horse theft. Note how the rifle, knife and bow converge in perspective toward the thief in the distance. This is number 11 of 11 Texan issues with Baker art and/or covers.
