Gunfighters #68

Charlton's Gunfighters #68 delivers the "Two-Fisted Western Action!" promised right on the cover, where a masked, bandana-wearing outlaw on a white horse charges forward with pistol drawn and a lasso at the ready against a vivid pink background. Ernie Bache's cover work gives the scene real kinetic energy — bullets are practically flying off the page with bold "POW" and "PING" sound effects punctuating the rider's breakneck ride. Inside, Pete Morisi handles the art, inking, and lettering on "Jaws of Death," making this 1981 Charlton entry a solid showcase of the gritty, no-frills Western storytelling the series was known for.
