Gunsmoke Western #74 [1963] – Cover

Another Kirby/Ayers western cover.

I especially like faces of the leads on this cover. Drawn very small, but very clear and expressive. Let’s take a closer look:

No question there about what emotion the Kid is expressing, and a great classic Kirby heroic face on the sherrif (looks a bit like Reed Richards, actually).

    If you read the story, you’ll see that the Kid is the sheriff and the imposter is dressed as the Kid. A real good story, actually, one of Jack Kellers best.
