Two Gun Kid #17

The cover of this October 1954 issue says it all — "The Wildest Cowboy in the Wild West!" — and Joe Maneely's cover art delivers on that promise with a chaotic Main Street brawl under a bright full moon. The Two-Gun Kid grapples with a red-shirted opponent in the foreground while a colorfully dressed villain in an orange-and-green outfit tumbles through the air and more armed figures close in from the background. With Chuck Miller handling interior art and the story "Killer's Moon!" on deck, this is a ten-cent slice of 1954 Western action at its most kinetic.
