The Rawhide Kid #105

The Rawhide Kid faces long odds on the cover of this November 1972 Marvel issue, with the red-haired gunslinger caught mid-action as a rifle is thrust toward him — while the formidable Ma Morgan, draped in red, commands her gang of sons with a pistol raised and the icy order: "Okay, boys — take 'im!" Cover pencils by Larry Lieber and inks by Frank Giacoia give the scene real kinetic energy, the figures pressing in from all sides to make the Kid's situation look genuinely desperate. "The Sinister Sons of Ma Morgan!" promises the kind of frontier confrontation that made Rawhide Kid one of Marvel's most entertaining western titles of the early 1970s.
