Ringo Kid #13

The cover of this 1956 Atlas Western promises exactly what the banner delivers — "Ringo!! The Name That Makes Killers Tremble!" — as the black-clad Ringo Kid strides forward through a saloon doorway, fists ready and expression steely, with a gunman lurking behind the door and a brawl already unfolding in the background. Coins scatter across the foreground and a revolver looms large, setting the scene for high-stakes frontier trouble. Joe Maneely's confident linework gives the whole composition real energy, and with Fred Kida handling the interior art on "End of the Trail!", this issue delivers solid Western craftsmanship from cover to story.
