The Rawhide Kid #138

The cover of this 1977 Marvel Western crackles with tension as a menacing mounted figure — Colonel Travis Ramm, by his own boastful declaration — looms on a rearing black horse over a red-haired figure in a Union uniform fighting for their life amid rocky canyon terrain. Ernie Chan's cover art delivers the confrontation with real punch, framing the threat of Ramm's "Legion of the Lost" against a backdrop of armed soldiers closing in from the distance. Inside, writer Archie Goodwin and artist Werner Roth bring "Legion of the Lost" to life, making this a solid entry in Marvel's long-running frontier series.
