Two Gun Kid #19

From out of the blazing Wild West, Atlas Comics' Two-Gun Kid #19 (1954) pitches readers straight into the action with a cover by Joe Maneely that crackles with energy — the Kid himself stands defiantly atop a speeding wagon, guns blazing, as a swarm of hard-riding outlaws closes in from every direction. The cover teases a tense showdown with the story "Rope Law," asking whether the Kid can escape a killer's deadly brand of frontier justice. Chuck Miller brings the interior art to this pulse-raising ten-cent adventure that captures everything appealing about Atlas's Western line at full gallop.
