Billy the Kid #78

Charlton's long-running Western series charges full steam ahead in this 1970 issue, with cover art by José Delbo putting Billy the Kid front and center — pistol raised, riding hard on a paint horse as a locomotive bears down right behind him. A blonde woman in a blue hat watches from the corner, and the cover promises high stakes with the bold declaration that "$50,000 in gold on the train and Billy is goin' to get it!" — teasing the "Apache's Gold!" story within. Delbo's crisp linework gives the scene real kinetic energy, making this a satisfying entry in one of Charlton's most enduring frontier titles.
