The Rawhide Kid #48

Marvel's long-running western series delivers a tense October 1965 showdown in this issue, with cover art by Larry Lieber putting the Rawhide Kid in a genuinely unsettling spot — gun drawn and pressing himself against a wooden building as the imposing, dark-clad Marko rides his horse boldly down the main street of town, bystanders scrambling out of his path. The cover copy asks the question directly: why does even the Rawhide Kid tremble when Marko the Manhunter rides into town? With a mustachioed figure lurking in the foreground and tension crackling across every panel of Lieber's cover, this one earns its dramatic billing.
