The Rawhide Kid #80

This 1970 Marvel Western puts the Rawhide Kid in a tight spot right on the cover — an accusing figure points directly at him while a downed man lies in the dusty street, a distraught woman kneeling at his side, and a crowd of onlookers closes in from the background. The bold banner "Fall of a Hero!" and the damning speech bubble — "I saw it! The Rawhide Kid gunned down an unarmed man!" — set up a gripping tale of reputation and injustice. Larry Lieber and Herb Trimpe deliver a cover charged with frontier tension that captures everything compelling about Marvel's Silver Age Western storytelling.
