The Cisco Kid #25

Against a backdrop of roaring flames, the Cisco Kid levels a revolver with a confident grin, his striking white sombrero trimmed in red front and center, while his companion — green sombrero and an equally alert expression — watches their backs in this January–February 1955 Dell western. Ernest Nordli's painted cover crackles with urgency, the two figures pressed together mid-action as firelight fills the sky behind them. It's a vivid snapshot of the swashbuckling frontier spirit that made this series a staple of 1950s Western comics.
