Kid Colt Outlaw #36

This 1954 Marvel western puts Kid Colt right in the thick of it — the cover by Sol Brodsky and Carl Burgos captures a furious nighttime brawl, with the blond Kid Colt in red tangling with a green-jacketed gunman while a rider on horseback takes a dramatic blow behind them, flames licking the ground nearby. The raw energy of the scene earns every word of that "Blazing Adventures of the Wild West!" banner across the top. With interiors by writer Joe Gill and artist Jack Keller, this monthly dose of frontier action delivers exactly what fans of the genre were riding into drugstores for in 1954.
