All Star Western #117

From DC's frontier-flavored anthology comes All-Star Western #117 (1961), featuring the bold headline story "Six-Gun Showdown with Madame .44!" The cover by Gil Kane and Joe Giella crackles with tension: a masked, white-clad Madame .44 has just shot the gun right out of Johnny Thunder's hand, warning him to keep his hands off it — and judging by the sparks flying from that dropped pistol, she means every word. The issue also teases an "Amazing New Series" starring Super-Chief, Wonder Warrior of the Woodlands, making this a particularly lively package of Western adventure from 1961 DC.
