Romance on the Range ROMANCE TRAIL "Romantic Tenderfoot"

This is one of those "contemporary city slicker finds love at the dude ranch" tales...

...but with an unusual twist, which fans of Old West fiction will appreciate!

Illustrated by John Giunta and scripted by an unknown writer, this never-reprinted tale from DC's Romance Trail #2 (1949) plays up one of the "open secrets" of genre (mystery/sci fi-fantasy/Western) fiction...that a number of supposed male authors were actually women, whether using a name that could be either male or female (as Lee does) or a male pseudonym!
There's an article about the phenomenon in Old West fiction HERE!
Ironically, this comic book story was, more than likely, scripted by a male writer!
