Gunsmoke Western #48

This September 1958 issue of Gunsmoke Western packs two wild frontier tales into one ten-cent package, with cover art by Joe Maneely bringing both stories to vivid life. The upper half erupts with Kid Colt, Outlaw — guns blazing and bodies scrambling — in "Shoot-Out in Silver City!," while the lower half shifts to a tense street brawl as Wyatt Earp squares off bare-fisted against the menacing, charging figure of Big Bill Borden in "The Challenge of Big Bill Borden!" It's a neatly split cover that delivers double the frontier action, backed by a creative team that includes Stan Lee, artist Jack Keller, and colorist Stan Goldberg keeping the pages sharp and energetic throughout.
