Black Fury #20

This Charlton Comics issue from 1959 splits its cover into two dramatic scenes: on the left, the powerful black stallion Black Fury rears over a figure clinging to a rocky cliff face, while on the right he faces down a snarling bear in a tense standoff — with another horse visible behind him. E. H. Hart's bold linework gives both scenes a raw, kinetic energy that captures the wild spirit of the series perfectly. The issue also features a fun period bonus — a giant contest offering a regulation Buster Crabbe swimming pool as the prize.
