Western Comic Appraisal

Gunfighters Comic Book No. 88

The item is a vintage comic book titled 'Gunfighters'. The cover features three Western-themed characters. The central figure is a man with red hair and a cowboy hat, wearing a brown jacket, green shirt, and green pants, with a red bandana around his neck. He appears to be in action, possibly drawing a weapon. To his right, another man with a mustache and beard is partially visible, wearing a dark blue garment. To the left, a smaller, darker-haired man in a light blue shirt, brown vest, and red pants is crouching on a rock, holding what appears to be a firearm. The background depicts a dusty, open Western setting with some abstract purple shapes that might represent distant mountains or smoke. The top left corner features a circular portrait of a man in a cowboy hat and a smaller circle with the 'CHARLTON COMICS' logo. The title 'Gunfighters' is prominently displayed in large black letters across the top half of the cover. Above the title, in a yellow banner, the issue number 'NO. 88 JUL.', the price '40C', and what appears to be a UPC serial are visible. The overall color palette is earthy, dominated by hues of brown, green, and orange-red for the cover background. The comic appears to be in good condition with minor visible wear, consistent with its age. There are no obvious tears, significant creases, or discoloration that would suggest poor preservation, indicating it has been well-maintained. The printing quality seems consistent with comic books from its era, likely the late 1970s based on the 40-cent price point.
