Billy the Kid #61

The cover of this 1967 Charlton issue puts you right in the crossfire — Billy rides hard on his spotted horse while a gunman in the foreground levels two revolvers at him, with muzzle flash erupting at center. José Delbo's crisp linework gives the standoff real tension, framing Billy as outnumbered but far from outmatched. With the story title "A Bad Day for Billy" splashed across the cover, this one promises exactly the kind of high-stakes Western action that made Charlton's frontier titles a reliable twelve-cent thrill.
