Cheyenne Kid #17

A ten-cent Charlton gem from 1959, this issue of Cheyenne Kid features Dick Giordano's crisp cover artwork depicting a tense frontier standoff — a menacing figure in a dark hat looms over the Kid while a third man looks on, cards and the suggestion of a saloon setting adding to the charged atmosphere. The banner teasing "Peacemaker Colt" promises a story with the Kid squarely in the crosshairs of trouble. Giordano's confident linework gives the scene real edge, making this a fine example of Charlton's western output at its most entertaining.
