Kid Colt Outlaw #153

Marvel's long-running western series delivers a tense showdown on the cover of this 1971 issue, with Kid Colt blazing away with both pistols as he faces down a scattering crowd of armed men outside the County Jail — guns firing, bodies reeling, and the dust practically rising off the page. Speech bubbles taunt that dynamite may have sprung him from a cell, but blasting his way out of town is another matter entirely. With cover art by Herb Trimpe and the promise of "The Siege at Circle-X" inside, this is frontier action with real stakes.
