Kid Colt Outlaw #55

This December 1955 Atlas western finds Kid Colt in a tight spot — cover artist John Severin puts the blond, red-jacketed hero low to the ground, unarmed and outnumbered by rifle-toting gunmen looming behind him, his expression fierce and defiant. The cover teases that Kid Colt will prove his "Gun Savvy" and face a "Rustlers' Round-Up," promising the kind of scrappy frontier action that made this series a staple of the Atlas western line. Inside, writer Joe Gill and artist Jack Keller deliver the story "The Meeting," rounding out a solid issue for any fan of classic cowboy comics.
