Cheyenne Kid #73

Charlton's Cheyenne Kid charges forward on this July 1969 cover, knife raised and expression fierce as a ghostly, skeletal figure looms at his side and a village burns in the fiery red background behind him. The tension practically leaps off the page, setting the stage for "The Warmaster" — a title that promises serious conflict on the frontier. Cover art by Sanho Kim and Sal Gentile gives the scene a raw, urgent energy that made Charlton westerns a reliable thrill at just twelve cents.
