This is Four Color #324 (not 325), with art by Morris Weiss.
By JVJ
Yes, the correct number is 324, but the artist is not Morris Weiss. Whoever it is has yet to be positively identified, no matter what the GCD has to say.

This is the most exhaustive--and exhausting--Dell western novel adaptation I've seen. 52 pages, and every page with between 10 and 13 panels. Despite the small panels the artist puts as much effort in to each one as others did with 6-8 panel pages.
By The Australian Panther
This looks like it was previously published elsewhere, hence the unusual format. I wonder where?
Possibly for a romance magazine.
