Ringo Kid #11

The cover by John Severin puts the Ringo Kid front and center astride a rearing white horse, pistol drawn and a green sack clutched in his free hand, with a posse of hard-riding pursuers bearing down through the dust behind him — pure western tension rendered with Severin's confident linework. The cover boasts that Ringo's is "the name that makes killers tremble," and this 1956 Atlas issue delivers on that promise with the featured story "The Man from the Panhandle!" Interior art comes from Fred Kida, with lettering by Joe Letterese, making this a fine example of the skilled craftsmen keeping Atlas's western line riding strong at a dime a copy.
