Rawhide Kid #10

From the Atlas Comics era of 1956, this tenth issue of Rawhide Kid promises gritty Western tension straight from its cover by John Severin — the Kid looms in the foreground, pistol drawn and expression steeled, while a top-hatted gunman levels his own weapon from a shadowy doorway behind him. The tagline "He shares his saddle with danger!" sets the mood perfectly, and the cover blurb teases a "Showdown in Shadow Gap!" with Don Rico writing and Dick Ayers handling the interior art. At a dime a copy, this is frontier storytelling with real atmosphere.
