Kid Colt Outlaw #44

Cover art by Russ Heath puts the blond, red-shirted Kid Colt front and center, fist raised as he takes the fight directly to a villain in a brawl that crackles with raw energy — while in the background a mounted rider and a rearing horse add to the chaos of a Wild West showdown. The cover blurb promises Kid Colt attacks "Bad-Man's Roost" single-handed, and Heath's dynamic figures make that boast feel entirely believable. Interior story "The Lawman from Yuma!" — written by Joe Gill with art by Jack Keller — rounds out this 1955 Atlas monthly that delivered on its promise of blazing frontier adventure.
