The Rawhide Kid #68

Marvel's long-running Western series delivers a tense moment on this 1969 cover by Larry Lieber and Sal Buscema, where the Rawhide Kid rides hard on horseback while a purple-cloaked ambusher drops from the trees directly above him, hat tumbling free mid-fall. The story title "When Stalks the Cougar!" promises the Kid has a dangerous new enemy on his trail, and the dramatic overhead attack composition makes it easy to see why this era of Marvel Westerns had such devoted fans.
