All-American Western #117

From DC's All-American Western comes this December–January 1950 issue featuring a cover by Alex Toth (pencils) and Joe Giella (inks) that crackles with raw frontier energy — Johnny Thunder hangs on for his life as the wild, bucking white stallion Black Lightning rears dramatically against a dust-churned, fiery orange sky, a herd of dark horses stampeding in the background. The cover copy promises that "the western plains echo to the challenge of an unconquerable horse," and Toth's dynamic composition makes every word of that feel earned. Packed with 52 big pages including a "Foley of the Fighting Fifth" adventure, this is a genuinely satisfying slice of DC's golden-age western storytelling.
