Cheyenne Kid #99

Charlton's long-running western series delivers another action-packed chapter in this 1973 installment, with cover art by Pat Boyette showing the Cheyenne Kid on horseback navigating a rocky canyon pass while a dark-clad figure tumbles through the air above him — and in the foreground, two Native American figures stand in tense confrontation near the water's edge. The wry cover tagline, "Another Quiet Day in Happy Valley," makes it clear that things are anything but calm inside. With the interior story titled "The Pay-Off," this issue promises the kind of sharp frontier tension that kept Charlton's western lineup a staple of 1973 spinner racks.
