Gunsmoke Western #77

This July 1963 Marvel Western pits Kid Colt, Outlaw in a tense main-street showdown against the menacing gunfighter Drago, whose black hat and cape dominate the foreground as Kid Colt — dressed in his red shirt and cowhide vest — faces him down with a look of grim resignation, thinking "I'm a goner!" Bystanders scramble and scuffle in the dusty background outside a saloon, adding real chaos to the confrontation that the cover headline promises in "He Can't Out-Draw Drago!" The cover art by Jack Kirby and Dick Ayers captures that charged split-second before the draw with clean, dynamic linework that made Marvel's Western titles a reliable treat.
