The Rawhide Kid #146

Marvel's long-running Western series delivers a tension-packed 1978 entry with "Day of the Outcast," where the cover by Tony DeZuniga stages a dramatic mid-street confrontation — the Rawhide Kid crouching with guns drawn as a blue-clad gunfighter faces him down against a blazing sunset backdrop, with a weathered face looming large in the foreground. The starburst promises "The Shocker You Never Expected to See," which pairs nicely with the bonus promise of an Outlaw Kid story also tucked inside. Larry Lieber handles both writing and art on the interior, with inking by George Roussos, making this a solid piece of Marvel's Western storytelling tradition.
