Cheyenne Kid #8

Charlton's Cheyenne Kid #8 brings the frontier hero front and center in a striking 1957 cover by Dick Giordano and Vince Alascia — the Kid rendered in cool blue against a bold red background, revolver in hand, his wide-brimmed hat and yellow neckerchief giving him an air of calm authority amid the action. Flanking him, two black-and-white inset panels hint at the dangers ahead: a confrontation with a Native warrior and a fierce close-quarters gun battle. The cover copy promises "Stolen Empire Part I," with the Cheyenne Kid going "through gunsmoke and outlaw's lead" against a gang with big ambitions — solid Western drama at just ten cents.
