The Westerner #15

The cover of The Westerner #15 pulls you straight into the open range with a hard-riding cowboy on a grey horse locked in a tense mounted pursuit, an arrow streaking through the air as a Native warrior on horseback wheels away, with more riders cresting the ridge behind them. Two stories are teased right on the cover — the action-packed "Two-Legged Colt!" and "A Town Affair!," the latter promising greed and upheaval when a gold mine is discovered in an otherwise peaceful town. It's a fine slice of mid-century Western comics adventure, carrying that Super Comics Seal of Quality and delivering exactly the dusty, hard-riding thrills the genre promised.
