Black Fury #29

Black Fury commands the cover of this 1961 Charlton western, with the magnificent black stallion's head bursting dramatically from a starburst at center, surrounded by smaller vignettes of wild horses rearing and running against a vivid red background. Three stories are promised inside — "Showdown at Furnace Creek," "The Silent Foe," and "Movericks" — suggesting a full issue of frontier adventure built around this bold, spirited horse. Ernie Hart's cover art gives Black Fury a real sense of untamed power, making this ten-cent gem a fine snapshot of Charlton's western comics output at its most energetic.
