Kid Colt Outlaw #191

Kid Colt finds himself in a desperate spot on Dick Ayers's cover for this 1975 Marvel western — shackled in a chain gang at Pecos Pass, he's already throwing punches while three of his deadliest enemies, The Scorpion, Bull Barton, and Doctor Danger, close in for revenge. With buzzards circling overhead and more striped-suited prisoners looking on, the scene crackles with the kind of outnumbered tension that made this series a staple of Marvel's western lineup. Stan Lee and Jack Keller deliver "The Chain Gang of Pecos Pass!" — a rugged adventure that lives up to the cover's promise of high-stakes frontier action.
