Billy the Kid #90

In "The Meek Shall Inherit an Early Grave," Pat Boyette crafts a tense, character-driven tale as Abel Young, Max’s assistant, temporarily runs the paper while Max is away—giving the usually quiet man a rare chance to step into the spotlight. With the saloon’s shady figures on the rise, Max seizes the moment to expose their true nature, turning the quiet town’s undercurrents into something far more dangerous. The issue’s sharp storytelling is matched by José Delbo’s striking cover, capturing the mood of a frontier on edge.
