Two-Gun Kid #6

Two-Gun Kid #6 delivers exactly what the masthead promises — western action and thrills — as the blond Kid urges his black horse into a breathtaking leap across a canyon gap, pistol drawn, while mounted outlaws in the distance cry out in disbelief: "The Kid can never jump that… Grab yer hardware!" Cover artists Syd Shores and Vince Alascia pack the scene with real kinetic energy, the horse and rider caught mid-flight against a rugged frontier landscape complete with a distant stagecoach. Inside, Russ Heath brings the same gritty frontier spirit to "Trail of the Owl-Hooter," making this 1949 Marvel a thoroughly satisfying ten-cent package of range-riding adventure.
