Billy the Kid #55

Charlton's Billy the Kid #55 (1966) promises a tense showdown with "Law of the Vigilantes," and the cover sets the stakes immediately: a determined Billy, hand hovering near his holstered gun, stares up at a looming cloaked and masked figure whose call to "seize Billy the Kid… and execute him at dawn!" hangs in the air like a threat. The cover text sets the grim scene — three marshals already sent to boot hill in Yuma City, and now a vigilante court ready to deliver its own brand of justice. Cover art by Rocco Mastroserio gives the confrontation real atmosphere, with swirling dust and that ominous shadowy figure casting a long presence over the young outlaw.
