Billy the Kid #141

Charlton's long-running Western series rides into issue #141 with a cover by José Delbo that sets up an immediate sense of tension — a poncho-clad figure in a large sombrero crouches in the foreground while Billy the Kid approaches on horseback through a dusty frontier town. The contrast between the lurking, colorfully dressed figure up close and Billy's confident approach in the background gives the scene a natural dramatic pull. With the story "The Secret of the Gunfighter" waiting inside, this 1981 Charlton entry delivers the kind of straightforward Western atmosphere the series always did well.
