Kid Colt Outlaw #182

The cover by Jack Kirby and Dick Ayers puts Kid Colt front and center in full red-and-white regalia, guns drawn as he tears through a chaotic street brawl outside the Last Chance Saloon — men scattering and diving for cover in every direction while a bystander cries out, "Somebody's gotta stop the Kid — he's become a gun-happy terror!" It's a vivid, kinetic image that captures the wild-west energy this long-running Marvel series always delivered so well. With Stan Lee scripting and Jack Keller on interior art, issue #182 from 1974 makes a strong case for why Kid Colt Outlaw remained one of Marvel's most dependable western titles.
