Two Gun Kid #49

The cover of this 1959 Marvel western says it all: the Two-Gun Kid strides forward through a dusty frontier street, hands hovering near his double holsters, while a crowd of armed men closes in behind him with the chilling declaration, "Let's go, boys! We've got 'im now!" The story title — "The Man Who Out-Drew the Kid?" — hangs over the scene like a genuine challenge, promising that even the fastest gun in the West may have met his match. With cover art from Joe Maneely and Sol Brodsky and interior work by the team of Stan Lee, John Severin, and Stan Goldberg, this ten-cent issue delivers the tense, sun-baked atmosphere that made Marvel's western titles a staple of 1950s comics.
