"Unusual Tales", a series presenting Steve Ditko's comics from 1957 to 1959 that are in the public domain.
Kind of a convoluted little western story, and it seems that a few times the wrong choice is made about what to show, like page 2 panel 4, where the caption describes the outlaw punching the tenderfoot, which is probably something you'd like to show in a comic book story instead of another tight close-up. Ditko usually makes better choices than that, but maybe the script didn't allow for it in this case.
Some unusual inking technique a few times in this one, looks like a flatter pen line than Ditko usually had around this time.
