The Rawhide Kid #69

A striking 1969 Marvel western, this issue of The Rawhide Kid announces its threat loud and clear: "And Now — The Executioner!" The cover, penciled by Larry Lieber and John Romita with inks by John Tartaglione and John Romita, is a genuinely arresting composition — a massive, grimacing face fills a golden sphere while multiple figures of the Rawhide Kid swirl around it, guns drawn and ready in every direction. It's a bold, dynamic design that captures the Kid seemingly surrounded on all sides, making for one of the more visually inventive covers of Marvel's western line.
