Texas Rangers in Action #76

Charlton's Texas Rangers in Action #76 delivers a cover — penciled and inked by Miguel A. Repetto — bursting with hard-knuckled Western action, depicting Ranger Marl Kincaid trading blows with a knife-wielding killer across three dynamic panels, the cover copy pointedly asking why he must face this dangerous opponent with only his bare fists in the story "Tarnished Badge." The yellow background makes every punch, stumble, and desperate struggle pop with real urgency, while a separate scuffle with a gun-toting figure in the background adds to the sense of an all-out brawl. Pete Morisi handles the interior art chores on "Guns of Evil," making this 1970 issue a satisfying package of gritty frontier justice from one of Charlton's dependable Western titles.
