Gunfighters #56

Charlton's Gunfighters #56 (October 1979) delivers a shot of old-west action right on its cover, where a blue-clad gunfighter delivers a fierce kick to a chair that sends cards flying, while a second man in green reels from a punch — the tension of a saloon brawl frozen at its most kinetic moment. The cover benefits from the combined penciling talents of Dick Giordano, Al Williamson, and John Severin, with inks by Giordano and Severin giving the scene a sharp, assured finish. Inside, Joe Gill's story "Besieged" is brought to life by artist Jack Keller, inker Dick Giordano, and letterer Jon D'Agostino — a solid creative lineup for any fan of frontier comics.
