Billy the Kid #83

Charlton's long-running frontier series charges into issue #83 with a cover by José Delbo that drops you right into the middle of a bank robbery — two armed outlaws in the foreground, their backs turned, caught off guard as Billy the Kid bursts through the doorway in his red vest and white scarf, guns drawn and ready. Money and coins scatter across the counter as the confrontation hangs on a razor's edge. With Joe Gill scripting and Delbo handling both pencils and inks on "Trail to Boot Hill," this 1971 issue delivers the straight-shooting Western action the series was built on.
