Two Gun Kid #109

Marvel's frontier hero faces his toughest odds yet in this 1973 entry in the long-running western series. Dick Ayers's cover drops us right into the action: the Two-Gun Kid crouches in the foreground, both pistols shot clean from his hands by a ring of armed outlaws closing in from every side, with a menacing villain in the lower corner declaring he doesn't even need the gang to finish the job. It's a sharp, kinetic snapshot of a hero at the razor's edge — unarmed, outnumbered, and still refusing to fold.
