The Rawhide Kid #44

This February 1965 Marvel western pits the Rawhide Kid against a dangerous, identity-concealing foe in "The Masked Maverick!" — and the cover, penciled by Jack Kirby and inked by Dick Ayers, captures the tension perfectly: a masked gunman levels two revolvers at the Kid, who lunges forward across rocky terrain in a desperate, fighting-mad charge. The bold cover copy makes the stakes clear — unmask the Maverick or die — promising the kind of high-energy western showdown that Stan Lee and Larry Lieber consistently delivered in this era.
