All Star Western #110

DC's All-Star Western #110 from 1959 puts Johnny Thunder in a heart-stopping spot — cover artists Gil Kane and Joe Giella place him mid-stride on a staircase, pistol drawn, with a lit-fuse barrel labeled "DANGER! GUNPOWDER!" rolling directly toward him. The tension is immediate and visceral, Kane's dynamic figure work selling every ounce of urgency in the scene. Inside, writer Robert Kanigher and artist Gil Kane team up for "The Gunpowder Kid!" — and if the cover is any measure, it's a Western adventure with real spark.
