Two Gun Kid #45

Moonlit danger fills every corner of this December 1958 Atlas/Marvel western, as the Two-Gun Kid finds himself caught in a deadly midnight ambush — a well-dressed ringleader levels a pistol at his back while a second gunman lurks nearby, and onlookers watch from the shadows as speech balloons taunt that "the Kid's fast draw can't save him." Jack Davis's cover work crackles with gritty tension, the Kid's defiant posture and quick hands hinting that he won't go down without a fight. The story teaser "Gunfight at Midnight! — Would It Be the Kid's Last Fight??" sets the stakes perfectly for one of Stan Lee and Davis's sharply crafted frontier showdowns.
