Kid Colt Outlaw #115

A wonderfully tense cover by Jack Kirby and Sol Brodsky sets the stakes perfectly: Kid Colt, in his red shirt and yellow gloves, recoils as a mysterious purple-clad villain points a finger at him — and his gun flies right out of his hand. The cover copy asks whether the Scorpion's power is really magic, warning that even a fast-draw like Kid Colt's is no defense against that eerie sting. Stan Lee, Jack Keller, and Artie Simek deliver the interior action in this 1964 Marvel Western that blends frontier grit with just enough strangeness to keep you guessing.
