Six-Gun Heroes #47

Charlton's Six-Gun Heroes #47 from July 1958 rounds up four of the West's most recognizable figures — Annie Oakley, Lash LaRue, Jesse James, and Wild Bill Hickok — whose portrait busts anchor the top of the cover. Below them, a tense scene unfolds in the rugged desert: a lone gunman crouches behind cover, pistol drawn and aimed at a group of riders approaching on horseback, the red of his bedroll adding a vivid flash of color to the dusty landscape — cover art by Charles Nicholas and Vince Alascia. Inside, writer Joe Gill and artist Dick Giordano bring the story "Gold and Lead!" to life, making this a solid ten-cent package of frontier action.
