“Doom in the Desert!”

Marvel's sharp-shooting frontier hero takes center stage in this June 1962 issue, with a cover by Jack Kirby and Dick Ayers laid out in vivid panel-strip style — showing a red-clad, masked gunfighter boasting of his unbeatable skill, blasting targets with "Pow Pow Pow" sound effects, and squaring off against the Rawhide Kid himself in a tense showdown. The bold starburst caption warns that "Never, no NEVER had the Kid faced anything like… 'The Guns of Jasper Jelko,'" setting up what promises to be one formidable challenge for our hero. With Stan Lee and Jack Kirby behind the interior story, this is vintage early-'60s Marvel western storytelling firing on all cylinders.
