Kid Colt Outlaw #32

This December 1953 Atlas Western delivers exactly what the cover promises — Kid Colt, a noose still dangling overhead, driving a powerful kick square into the jaw of a green-coated opponent while his horse surges beneath him, all rendered with punchy energy by cover artist Syd Shores. The banner says it plainly: even a hangman's noose can't stop this two-fisted, gun-slinging outlaw. Beyond the main feature, the issue also promises "Death Rides the Stage!" and "The Backbreaker!" — written by Joe Gill with art by Jack Keller — making this a packed ten-cent package of Wild West thrills.
