Kid Colt Outlaw #15

Promising "the most dangerous mission ever undertaken by Kid Colt, Outlaw," this July 1951 Marvel western drops readers straight into a brawling saloon showdown. Pete Tumlinson's cover captures Kid Colt blazing away with his pistol while a feathered Native warrior lunges forward with a knife, bystanders scattering across the floor amid the chaos — a mounted deer head on the wall watching over the whole wild scene. With the story "Gun Duel in Shotgun City!" on deck, this ten-cent slice of Wild West action delivers exactly the kind of high-voltage frontier drama the series lived for.
