The Rawhide Kid #66

Marvel's western frontier comes alive in this October 1968 entry in the long-running Rawhide Kid series. The cover by Larry Lieber and Vince Colletta is a striking composition — a ghostly, blue-tinted gunfighter looms large over the landscape, blazing six-guns in hand, while a somber group of silhouetted figures stands graveside below a cross, setting a genuinely haunting tone for the story titled "Death of a Gunfighter!" As an added bonus, the issue also promises a Two-Gun Kid thriller, "Return of the Badman!" — making this a double dose of Marvel's silver-age western storytelling from writer-artist Larry Lieber and inker John Tartaglione.
