Two Gun Kid #115

Marvel's long-running Western series heats up in Two-Gun Kid #115 (December 1973), promising "Action as You Like It" as the masked Kid squares off against Billy the Kid in a dusty street showdown. Dick Ayers and Mike Esposito's cover captures the tension perfectly — the Two-Gun Kid advances with guns blazing while a blond, red-caped Billy the Kid crouches low, pistol leveled, with a chaotic melee of riders and fighters erupting in the background. With the bold banner "Showdown with Billy the Kid!" and a story crafted by Larry Lieber and Steve Skeates with art by Dick Ayers, this is frontier action with real personality behind it.
