Billy the Kid #140

A great villain gets a fittingly unsettling introduction on this 1981 Charlton cover by José Delbo: Don Diablo stands coolly in the background while one of his trained vultures attacks Billy the Kid, sending the young gunfighter sprawling in the dirt with pistol in hand. Delbo's linework captures both the menace of the swooping bird and the raw chaos of a frontier street fight with real energy and clarity. If you're looking for a western that pits its hero against something genuinely unusual, this issue's striking cover promises exactly that kind of wild, unpredictable adventure.
