Kid Colt Outlaw #142

Marvel's long-running western series delivers a tense standoff in this January 1970 issue, with Kid Colt caught in a dangerous squeeze — pistol drawn on a rough-looking gunman in a green jacket ahead of him, while an unseen threat closes in from behind. A third figure lurks in the background doorway, making it clear the odds are anything but fair. The cover by Joe Maneely frames the scene with real urgency, and the story title "With a Gun At His Back!" promises exactly the kind of gritty frontier action this series does best.
