The Saturday Evening Post (1949-50)

In addition to Rustler’s Range, Teague had a number of other interesting assignments during the period 1949-50 which demonstrate his range as an illustrator.  Putting the westerns aside, one would not guess that Teague did several of these by just looking at the illustration.  A good sample of Teague’s Post illustrations from his period are presented below.  Story text has been omitted for a cleaner presentation.
