Obviously a reprint of US material, but from where?
And can anybody decipher the signature on the cover?
Felix Mas?
If this is Felix Mas, it's very early work I think, but there is no date on the comic or the index card.
Felix Mas.

Not the style he is mostly noted for.

I think this is definitely a Felix Mas cover.
Miller comics produced dozens of cowboy comics, usually re-printing stuff from the states. Atlas too had their share of western reprint comics. However Atlas’ Lone Star contained all-British material. Atlas took over in 1956 and the comic lasted until issue number 99 in 1963. Lone Star magazine had originally begun in 1953 as a tie-in promotional tool for Die Cast Machine Tools Ltd range of toys. Toy handguns with holsters and toy rifles were massively popular with children of the 1950s brought up on a diet of Cowboy TV shows. Usually they were “capguns” that made a “loud” bang when paper gunpowder capsules were inserted. These days toy weapons of any type are frowned on, although I see that there are still replicas around.

Following on from crash's info on Steve Larrabee, apart from the Lone Star comic there were 11? Annuals. All as far as I know, with Steve Larrabee but also Space Ace. Captain Cutlass and perhaps like the comics the occasional Ace Hart story. As for the tv show, I've never heard of it, never mind seen it.
There seems to have been a picture story in Rover in 1941 featuring Steve Larrabee but I can't find anything on it. Could be a different cowboy.
