Rawhide Kid #4

Russ Heath's tense cover for this 1955 Atlas Western sets the scene perfectly — the Rawhide Kid astride his horse, hand on his iron, coolly warning a group of hard-eyed outlaws to "keep your hands in plain sight, hombres… or draw!" A glowing gem catches the eye amid the confrontation, teasing the cover's question: what was the secret of "The Flaming Gem"? Inside, Don Rico and artists Joe Maneely and Bob Brown deliver all brand new tales proving why this young gunfighter truly shares his saddle with danger.
