Okay team, here's the deal. I'm looking for a piece of art I desperately need as a reference. I could have sworn I had it downloaded, but I can't find it anywhere. The art in question is two astronauts in full space suits in an otherwise wild west scene. They've just concluded a high noon duel. The angle is such that the loser of the duel is crumpled on the ground in the foreground, and the winner is standing in the background. The winner is wearing a brown bandolier, and their gun is still smoking. The loser of the duel has red smoke pouring up out of his now shattered visor. I remember there being a big red word across the top, like a comic book cover or something. Any help here would hugely appreciated. If there's another community for this kind of thing please direct me to it. Thank you all!

Someone in the thread I linked to mentioned that it looks like it was in the Space Western genre.

It looks like there was also a Space Western comics book series. In some---not all---of the covers, it looks like there was a single, bright red word.

If it looks similar, it might be a cover from that series.

Apparently it was published by the now-defunct Charlton Comics, which did low-budget comics. I'm not sure if there's some database out there that has scans of many different comic book covers, but if so, you might go looking through the covers in that series.

EDIT: Found such a database. Apparently it was a six-issue series, and there are scans of all of the covers.

If the image came from that series, it's not a cover, as it's not in that list.

EDIT2: It looks like there are scans of the pages from that series up here. I'm not going to go through the whole series, but if it looks like the style is right, you might try going through those.
