The Rawhide Kid #142

Marvel's long-running Western series delivers another dust-kicking adventure with this 1977 entry, featuring a cover by Gil Kane that crackles with urgency — the Rawhide Kid rides hard on a galloping horse, pistol raised, as a hail of arrows slices through the air around him while mounted pursuers charge in the background. The banner promises "possibly the most off-beat six-gun saga of them all" alongside the story "Duel of the Desperadoes!," and Kane's dynamic composition makes it easy to believe the claim. Inside, Larry Lieber handles both writing and art, with inks by Herb Trimpe and lettering by Artie Simek — a solid creative team keeping Marvel's frontier spirit alive and riding.
