Gunsmoke Western #62

This January 1961 Marvel Western crackles with tension right on its cover, penciled by Jack Kirby and inked by Dick Ayers: two nearly identical figures in matching red shirts, cow-print chaps, and yellow gloves face off at close range while a chaotic brawl erupts in the background — a sheriff, armed men, and a splintering doorway all caught mid-action. The cover's bold tagline — "Death waited for ONE of them! Who was 'The Other Kid Colt'?" — sets up a gripping case of mistaken identity with real stakes. At just a dime, issue #62 delivers the kind of kinetic Western drama that made Gunsmoke Western a reliable Saturday-afternoon favorite.
