The Rawhide Kid #96

A prison wagon is under siege on this February 1972 Marvel Western, with the Rawhide Kid locked in a fierce ground-level struggle — gun blazing, outlaws sprawling in every direction — while a masked, caped figure looms behind him declaring "You called it, Kid!" The cover caption captures the hero's conflicted grit perfectly: he knows he may be branded an outlaw, but he's determined to stop this prison break or die trying. Gil Kane's pencils and Bill Everett's inks deliver a kinetic, dust-and-gunpowder showdown that makes "The Kid from Missouri" a thoroughly satisfying entry in Marvel's run of blazing Western action.
