Kid Colt Outlaw #181

Marvel's long-running western series delivers a tense showdown in this April 1974 issue, with a cover by Jack Kirby and Dick Ayers that puts Kid Colt squarely in the crosshairs. The blond gunslinger is caught mid-stumble on a rocky cliffside, pistol in hand, while the cloaked and relentless Sam Hawk — "the Man-Hunter" — fires down at him from above, the shot already crackling between them. It's a visually charged moment that sets the stage for the feature-length Kid Colt saga inside, written by Stan Lee with art by Jack Keller.
