“Rio Grande Pay-Off”

A masked gunman has Billy the Kid (referred to as "Bonney" in the cover's speech bubble) dead to rights, leveling a shotgun at point-blank range outside a weathered building — and the teaser text makes clear this adversary is just one of the feared Shotgun Brothers. Charles Nicholas and Vince Alascia's cover crackles with tension, framing Billy as genuinely outmatched for once, his hand hovering near his holstered pistol against impossible odds. Inside, Joe Gill's script and Pete Morisi's art bring "Rio Grande Pay-Off" to life in this 1959 Charlton gem — and don't forget to check that corner for the Giant Jackpot Prizes!
