The Rawhide Kid #53

The cover of issue #53 tells the story at a glance — the red-haired Rawhide Kid clings to his rearing gray horse as it crashes through a river crossing, his hat flying off while armed bounty hunters close in from both sides. Larry Lieber's cover art captures the desperate momentum beautifully, with water spraying and figures scrambling in pursuit through a lush wooded landscape. "Guns of the Wild North!" promises exactly the kind of rough-and-tumble 1966 Marvel western that made this series a frontier favorite.
