The Ringo Kid #20

The Ringo Kid strides confidently through a doorway on this 1973 Marvel cover by Joe Maneely, holding up a wanted poster bearing his own name while two rough-looking outlaws flank him and a third armed gunman waits just to the right — tension coiled and ready to snap. The taglines say it all: "His Name Makes Badmen Tremble" and "The Fastest Gun Alive," capturing the cool nerve that defines this frontier hero. With Fred Kida bringing the interior story "The Hostage!" to life, this is a satisfying slice of Marvel's Western storytelling at 20 cents a page.
