Kid Colt Outlaw #126

A tense mid-street standoff fills this January 1966 Marvel western, with Kid Colt crouched in a gunfighter's ready stance — fingers splayed over his holster — while the dark-clad Wes Hardin faces him down against a dusty frontier town backdrop, onlookers scrambling for cover in the distance. The cover, rendered by Dick Ayers and Sol Brodsky, captures that charged split-second before the draw, with the caption pointedly noting "the odds are on his side… and he knows it!" Story duties fall to Larry Lieber and Steve Skeates, with interior art by Jack Keller — solid western talent delivering exactly the kind of "Western Action As You Like It" the cover promises.
