Ringo Kid #6

Ringo Kid strides forward with cool, unshakeable confidence on Joe Maneely's cover for this 1955 Atlas Western — a rifle-toting horseman looms behind him while an armed gunslinger closes in from the right, dust swirling at their boots as the cover boldly declares "the name that makes killers tremble." Inside, John Severin brings his sharp linework to "Vengeance Trail," promising exactly the kind of gritty frontier action the title advertises. A fine ten-cent slice of mid-1950s Western comics at its most straightforward and satisfying.
