The Rawhide Kid #71

This August 1969 Marvel western puts the Rawhide Kid in immediate peril, the cover's bold tagline asking whether he'll meet his death at the hands of "The Last Warrior!" — a question made visceral by Larry Lieber and John Tartaglione's dynamic cover art. The Kid, guns drawn and reeling from a shot that sparks off his weapon, faces off against a formidably built Native warrior advancing aggressively across a rocky desert ledge, both men locked in a tense, close-quarters showdown. It's a striking piece of frontier action that captures the high-stakes tension the Rawhide Kid titles delivered so reliably in their 1969 run.
