Gunhawks #7

Marvel's western series puts Reno Jones, the Gunhawk, in a desperate spot on this October 1973 cover — he's flat on his back in the dirt, blazing away with his revolver at multiple bushwhackers closing in from all sides, with one outlaw already sent flying off a rooftop. The cover caption "A Gunhawk's Last Stand!" and Reno's own panicked words — "Got those three bushwhackers! But there must be MORE of 'em hiding nearby... But WHERE?" — promise a story of gritty, outnumbered survival deep in Marvel's frontier. Larry Lieber's pencils and Vince Colletta's inks deliver a punchy, kinetic scene that captures the raw tension of Gardner Fox's "Rodeo Doom-Day" inside.
