Number 1406: If you can whup her brother, you can be her lover

This is day two of our “What pours out of a Fawcett” theme week. I have a love story from Fawcett’s Romantic Western #2 (1950), drawn by Al Williamson and friends.

The story is pretty simple. Gene Lasseter, the hero, has a hankering for a pretty gal with a brother, Marko, who has a problem with guys liking his sister. He beats them up. Señorita Conchita, dark-eyed Latin beauty, seems to approve of that method of weeding out boyfriends. Love triumphs in the end because Lasseter gets the upper hand on Marko. But I’m not sure Lasseter wouldn’t have to fight Marko again at some point in the future. Guys like that who can dish it out don’t take kindly to taking a beating.
