Billy the Kid #35

This August 1962 Charlton Western puts Billy the Kid front and center alongside a dark-haired woman in a red dress as two armed gunmen close in, all framed against a looming Aztec serpent idol — a striking backdrop that signals the "monster Aztec gold" the cover promises in its teaser for "Maximilian's Heir." Billy's determined word balloon, "Steady your highness… we'll find some way out!", sets the tension perfectly, hinting at a clash of frontier grit and ancient treasure. Cover art by Charles Nicholas and Vince Alascia gives the scene real energy, and the bonus tease for "El Hombre's Army" makes this a genuinely packed issue of Western adventure.
