Black Fury #27

This 1960 Charlton issue puts the magnificent black stallion Black Fury front and center in a dramatic rearing clash with a golden horse across a rugged, rocky landscape — Ernie Hart's cover art capturing the raw power and tension between the two animals with real energy. A smaller vignette below hints at further action involving Black Fury and a predator, teasing the story titled "Outlaw" inside. With interior work by Joe Gill and Rocco "Rocke" Mastroserio, this ten-cent issue delivers the kind of wild-horse adventure that made Charlton's animal comics a genuine pleasure in 1960.
