Billy the Kid #95

From Charlton's October 1972 lineup comes this "All New" chapter of Billy the Kid, with José Delbo delivering a vivid cover that drops the young gunslinger into something far stranger than a typical range dispute. Billy, revolver in hand, faces off against a towering, elaborately costumed warrior wielding a rifle like a club, while an enormous serpentine idol looms ominously in the background — all teasing the story within, "An Ancient Curse." Delbo's bold linework and eye-catching colors make this 20-cent issue a fine snapshot of Charlton's western adventure at its most colorfully offbeat.
