Ringo Kid #20

A tense showdown fills every inch of Joe Maneely's cover as the Ringo Kid squares off against a menacing gunfighter in the middle of a crowded frontier street, with a looming close-up of a villain's face watching from above and a sea of townsfolk bearing witness to the standoff. The cover copy teases "Was This to Be the Kid's Last Challenge?" — and with drawn guns and a crowd holding its breath, the stakes feel as high as the Western sky behind them. This 1957 Marvel ten-center showcases Maneely's confident linework at its most dynamic, delivering exactly the kind of frontier tension the series promised.
