Four Color #927

Dell's Four Color #927 brings Luke Short's Western novel "Test Pit" to vivid comics life, with cover art by John Buscema capturing a tense standoff that crackles with frontier danger. A red-shirted gunfighter stands ready at center, his hand hovering near his holster, while a downed figure in the foreground clutches a revolver and two armed cowboys crowd the doorway behind him. That tagline — "quick hand, quick temper" — says everything you need to know about the high-stakes mood Buscema delivers in this gritty 1958 Western.
