The Mighty Marvel Western #36

This December 1974 anthology packs in four western tales featuring the Rawhide Kid, Matt Slade, and the Two-Gun Kid — a trio of Marvel's frontier favorites sharing one pulse-pounding package. The cover, penciled by Larry Lieber and inked by Mike Esposito, throws us right into the action: a red-haired gunfighter holds a flaming torch aloft while drawing his pistol, caught between a bound captive and a gang of armed outlaws — all while the name "Apache Joe" looms in a bold starburst warning that nobody's getting away. With interior work from Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, Dick Ayers, and Artie Simek, this is a fine snapshot of Marvel's Western line firing on all cylinders.
