Rawhide Kid #2

The Rawhide Kid stands center stage in a tense street standoff, his fringed jacket and twin-holstered guns at the ready while two armed outlaws move to ambush him — one behind, one lurking in a doorway with a warning that he's "as tricky as a cornered rattler." Joe Maneely's sharp linework gives this 1955 Atlas Western a real sense of coiled danger, perfectly capturing the tagline "He Shares His Saddle with Danger!" Promising all brand-new tales including "Hangman's Justice!" with writing by Don Rico and art by Bob Brown, this early issue delivers the gritty frontier excitement that made the Kid one of the era's standout Western heroes.
