Gunfighters #81

Charlton's Gunfighters #81 delivers a tense, dust-kicking standoff right on its cover, where a lone gunfighter in a dark hat fires point-blank into a brawl as two roughnecks clash in the foreground — hats flying, fists swinging, and a muzzle flash lighting up the action. The cover art by Rocco "Rocke" Mastroserio captures that raw, no-nonsense energy that made Charlton westerns a reliable treat in 1983. Inside, John Severin handles both pencils and inks on "3 Aces," bringing his sharp, seasoned linework to a title that still knew how to make the frontier feel dangerous.
