Billy the Kid #118

Charlton's "All New Billy the Kid" #118 from 1976 puts the young gunfighter in immediate peril — the cover by Warren Sattler captures Billy scrambling desperately along what appears to be a rooftop or boardwalk, revolver in hand and hat knocked aside, while an adversary's arm reaches in from the foreground. The small inset portrait in the upper left reinforces Billy's rough-and-ready frontier spirit, and the story title "Don't Let Him Die" promises the kind of tense, life-or-death Western drama Charlton did so well during this era.
