Two Gun Kid #47

Two-Gun Kid #47 bursts off the 1959 newsstands with a Jack Davis cover that puts the masked hero front and center, leaping into action in black-clad style with pistol raised while a ring of armed, desperate-looking outlaws closes in around him — one snarling gunman at lower left, another sneering figure at lower right, and a wide-eyed man taking cover in the background. The cover teases two stories, including the ominous-sounding "The End of the Two-Gun Kid!" and the tense challenge "Draw! Or Turn Tail!", making this a genuinely exciting snapshot of Marvel's western era at its most dramatic. With interiors crafted by Stan Lee, Matt Baker, Vince Colletta, Stan Goldberg, and Artie Simek, this issue is a fine example of the skilled talent Marvel brought to its frontier titles in 1959.
