Two Gun Kid #74

Marvel's Two-Gun Kid finds himself in dire straits on this March 1965 cover, as the Kid is caught in a rocky canyon ambush — gunfire flashing from one side while a menacing figure leaps from above and a rider on a white horse closes in from the front. The cover boldly heralds the arrival of Dakota Thompson, billed as "the roughest, toughest gunman of all," with Jack Kirby's pencils and Chic Stone's inks capturing every tense moment of the three-pronged trap. If you're in the mood for a gritty Western showdown, this "wonderful Western epic from Mighty Marvel" delivers the goods.
