Billy the Kid #66

Charlton's long-running western series charges into issue #66 with "Badlands Queen," and José Delbo's cover sets the pace immediately — Billy the Kid urges his spotted appaloosa into a hard gallop through a dusty frontier street while two armed men close in behind him. Delbo's linework captures both the horse's muscular momentum and the tension of the pursuit with the kind of clean, expressive style that made him a reliable hand at Charlton throughout the 1960s. A solid slice of 1968 western adventure that fans of the genre will want alongside their collection.
