Kid Colt Outlaw #226

Marvel's long-running western series delivers a gripping cover in this 1978 issue, with Kid Colt — blonde, red-jacketed, and stripped of his guns — taking a brutal pounding from the powerfully built Rammer Rankin amid what looks like a railway setting. A red-haired woman watches helplessly in the foreground while armed figures close in from the background, and a corner vignette shows Kid Colt in his familiar cowboy hat, reinforcing just how outmatched he appears here. Cover art by Herb Trimpe and John Tartaglione sets the stakes perfectly for "The Wrath of Rammer Rankin!" — a title that promises the Kid is in for the fight of his life.
