The Rawhide Kid #143
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeMarvel's long-running Western series delivers a hard-charging entry with issue #143, featuring Gil Kane's dynamic cover of the Rawhide Kid lunging forward with pistols blazing amid a chaotic frontier street showdown, adversaries scattering on either side while a rearing horse looms in the background. The cover promises "six-gun fury as the Kid searches for his long-lost brother," giving this January 1978 installment a personal, driven edge beyond a typical range war. Inside, Larry Lieber handles writing, art, and inking duties solo — a real one-man-band effort — making this a notably unified creative package for fans of classic Western comics.

After saving Frank from a fight with Cragg, the Kid learns they have another brother, Joe, who ran from the wagon train attack.
