Black Fury #22

Charlton's Black Fury gallops into January 1960 with a cover that puts the tension front and center — a paint horse and the powerful black stallion Black Fury himself streak across a desert landscape as gunfire erupts from the rocks nearby, dust and danger flying in equal measure. The cover story, "Trail of Vengeance," promises that when bushwhackers start shooting at horses, Black Fury isn't about to let it slide — and the whole scene, rendered with energetic linework by Ernie Hart, captures that wild, open-range spirit perfectly. Rounding out the package are additional tales including "Sands of Death" and "The Gun," plus free prizes inside — terrific value at just a dime.
