Kid Colt Outlaw #57

From Atlas Comics in 1956 comes this ten-cent slice of frontier tension, with cover art by Russ Heath delivering a hair-trigger standoff outside a frontier saloon. Kid Colt is caught mid-ride on his horse, facing down a group of armed men on the saloon porch — rifles leveled, a shadowy gunman looming large in the foreground — while the cover promises the story "No Place to Run!" Heath's crisp linework captures every taut muscle and drawn weapon, making it easy to see why Kid Colt's brand of outlaw adventure kept Western fans coming back issue after issue.
