Black Fury #18

Charlton's "The Wonder Horse" title delivers a striking April 1959 cover as Black Fury — a powerful black stallion rearing up on his hind legs — squares off against a snarling, bear-like creature mid-lunge, claws extended, against a vivid yellow sky and desert canyon backdrop. A second, smaller white horse crouches in the background, adding to the tension of the scene rendered by cover artist Ernie Hart. Inside, writer Joe Gill and artist Ernie Hart bring you the story "Killer Brand," and the issue even comes packed with a contest offering 8,000 prizes — all for a dime.
