Billy the Kid #135

Billy the Kid thunders across the cover of this 1980 Charlton issue, riding hard on a spotted Appaloosa through a cloud of trail dust while two armed men give chase from the background. José Delbo's linework gives the scene a kinetic, sun-baked energy — the Kid's red cape streaming behind him as the frontier town looms in the distance. With the interior story titled "Badland's Queen," this issue promises the kind of wide-open Western action that made this long-running Charlton series a staple of the spinner rack.
