The Rawhide Kid #140

Marvel's long-running Western series delivers the heat in this July 1977 issue, with cover art by Gil Kane putting the Rawhide Kid front and center in a tense Main Street standoff — bullets sparking off the wooden post beside him as he draws his six-shooter, outnumbered and surrounded by gunmen against a fiery red backdrop. The cover copy says it all: "Branded an Outlaw, the Kid Becomes a Two Gun Target!" with every gun turned against him and every trail leading to doom. Inside, Stan Lee's script and Jack Davis's artwork bring the story "Prisoner of the Apaches" to life, making this a solid chapter in one of Marvel's most enduring frontier adventures.
