Rawhide Kid #14

From the cover tagline "He Shares His Saddle With Danger!" to the blazing pistol in his hand, this 1957 Atlas Comics entry puts the Rawhide Kid front and center in a gripping shootout scene. The blond, red-scarfed Kid is crouched low, firing his revolver — muzzle flash and all — while two gunmen on a wooden structure trade shots in the background, capturing all the tension of the Old West in a single image. Joe Maneely's cover art is sharp and energetic, and with Dick Ayers bringing "Code of Honor!" to life inside, this is a fine example of mid-1950s Western comics firing on all cylinders.
