The Rawhide Kid #88

Marvel's long-running western series delivers a tense dose of frontier drama in this 1971 issue, with cover art by Larry Lieber and John Tartaglione that tells two gripping stories at once. The top panel captures a gunfighter named Jess blasting targets off a fence rail while a figure in a red shirt watches approvingly, suggesting a proud mentorship — but the bottom panel twists that pride into guilt, showing the red-shirted Rawhide Kid looking on in anguish as bystanders react to a fallen man, with the Kid's caption "And it's my fault — MINE!" driving home the moral weight. Titled "Gun-Fever!", this issue poses a troubling question about the cost of teaching someone to be deadly, and Larry Lieber's clean, expressive linework makes the emotional stakes feel immediate.
