Cheyenne Kid #70

Charlton's long-running frontier hero takes center stage on this January 1969 issue, with a tight close-up of Cheyenne Kid — steely-eyed, yellow-scarfed, and revolver raised — radiating the kind of grim determination that comes with being caught between a general's betrayal and a war chief's death sentence. The cover copy teases "The Perfect War," promising an unusual clash of Gatling guns, photographers, and warmakers drawn from both sides of the frontier conflict. As a bonus, the scroll inset spotlights Wander, the western hero from outer space, locked in a brawl in "The Fastest Gun in the West" — making this a satisfying double-feature from the Charlton stable.
