Kid Colt Outlaw #169

Marvel's long-running western series delivers a tense moment in this 1973 issue, with cover art by Gil Kane showing Kid Colt cornered on what appears to be a staircase or elevated structure, surrounded by armed adversaries closing in from below. The blond gunfighter looks desperate but determined, guns blazing as speech balloons capture the crisis — "They've seen me! And they know who I am!" and "But I'm trapped!" — perfectly selling the pressure of life as an outlaw on the run. An extra bonus story, "The Guns of Don Drago," is also promised inside, making this a solid double dose of frontier action at just twenty cents.
