Cheyenne Kid #26

This January 1961 Charlton western drops the Cheyenne Kid right into a brawl, as the cover — penciled and inked by John Severin — shows our buckskin-clad hero punching his way through a melee while a panicked man in a suit cries out "Cheyenne! Help!" Inset panels introduce Senator Masters making an inflammatory speech about Native Americans, setting up the political tension at the heart of "Fat of the Land." With Joe Gill and Pete Morisi aboard for the interior story, this ten-cent issue promises the kind of action-packed frontier drama that made Charlton's western line a staple of early '60s spinner racks.
