Billy the Kid #79

This July 1970 Charlton entry drops readers right into the thick of a saloon brawl, with Billy the Kid — his blond hair wild and twin revolvers blazing — squaring off against a larger opponent while onlookers crowd the doorway and a woman watches nervously from the corner. José Delbo's cover art crackles with kinetic energy, the oversized pistol thrust toward the viewer giving the scene an immediate, in-your-face punch. With Joe Gill scripting "Blood Trail to Texas," this issue promises the kind of gritty frontier action that made Charlton's Western line a dependable Saturday afternoon read.
