Billy the Kid #69

Charlton's Billy the Kid #69 (1968) delivers a wild frontier showdown right on its cover, where a large vulture swoops menacingly over a brawling gunman while the cool, confident figure of Billy the Kid stands his ground in the background — all framed by the bold promise of "Don Diablo and His Pet Vultures vs. Billy the Kid." José Delbo's cover art brings a wonderfully offbeat energy to the Western genre, pitting our hero against a villain with a most unusual set of animal accomplices. At twelve cents, this Charlton offering is a fun slice of 1968 frontier adventure with a premise that's hard to resist.
