Black Fury #24

From Charlton's beloved "Wonder Horse" series, this 1960 issue puts Black Fury front and center in a dramatic multi-scene cover by Ernie Hart, where the magnificent black stallion faces off against a snarling, leaping puma while additional horses — black and white — surge dynamically around the composition. The cover text sets the stakes plainly: Black Fury must protect his injured colt from the vicious big cat, and then somehow save a doctor whose survival holds the fate of an entire town. It's a wonderfully action-packed ten-cent package that captures exactly what made Charlton's animal adventure titles such a satisfying read in 1960.
