☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Surprise Sheriff of Rocky City!", Johnny Thunder takes up the badge in a town where danger hides in plain sight, and the past comes roaring back. As the Rapidan Gang slips into Rocky City, Johnny must outrun, outshoot, and outthink them through a relentless gauntlet of alleyways and ambushes—just as Old Billy Smith once did. Written by Robert Kanigher and brought to life with dynamic art by Gil Kane, both in pencils and inks, this 1958 DC classic captures the Wild West’s unpredictable pulse in a story that turns every street into a test of nerve. The cover by Gil Kane perfectly frames the tension, with the gauntlet’s legacy echoing in the dust.

Old Billy Smith sits in "Smith's Gauntlet" street and relates how he ran a gauntlet when this was Indian territory. "When the West was wild!" Johnny Thunder patrols because the posse hunts the Rapidan Gang. But the gang has infiltrated town! Soon he's dashing through alleys, diving through doors, getting dragged by a horse - running his own "gauntlet". Sharp shooting knocks guns awry and snips frees JT from a lasso. The gang is captured. And old Billy Smith renames the street "Smith's and Thunder's Gauntlet". "You never kin tell when [the West] is goin' to get wild again!"
